Mission accomplished! Earlier this school year, I was inspired by another post to curate and organize 180 math tasks on Google Slides. I just finished task #180. Recent additions come from Math is Fun, @BurdessAlicia and @traciteacher. #iteachmath bit.ly/180daysmath 1/n
Hello @JuliaWesterman: when you get a chance, can you please DM me about the Brewers-Dodgers series?
Hello @SportsNetLA. I was hoping you were going to show a replay of the 4+1 homer game last night since it was the 20th anniversary. You had a perfect opportunity since the Dodger game was on Apple TV. Do you plan to show this game anytime? It's an absolute classic!
Day 2 of my 7th grade students enjoying the @intelino trains. Today they built an epic multi-level track. Then they added various coding commands using the included color chips.

My 7th grade students are having a blast today building and coding their @intelino trains!
I'm at the @PetrosAndMoney Summer Tour Stop @TarantulaHill in the 805 and it appears that @Theoldp is repping the Vancouver Canucks
@DieterDecoder Dieter just played "Paranoia" by Black Sabbath in honor of the legendary Ozzy Osborne. RIP
A student of mine created a really cool remix of this project - one of the coolest things I have seen done on @scratch
Try it here - play with the numbers in the move and turn blocks to get some interesting results:

Today was my last day as a teacher after 36 years in my school district. I am looking forward to further adventures and opportunities in education. Stay tuned...

In three days, I will run my 6th marathon, but it will be my first in 14 years. A short thread. #iteachmath #running #marathon #ENDALZ @RunRocknRoll
On Sunday, I will run the San Diego Rock 'n' Roll Marathon, while my adult children will run the half marathon. We are raising money for the Alzheimer’s Association in honor of my father and my mother-in-law, who died last year after a 3-year battle with dementia.
For information on reducing your risk for dementia, see this article from the Centers for Disease Control: cdc.gov/alzheimers-dementia/…
I ran my first marathon at the age of 43 to honor the memory of my recently deceased grandmother. Four years later, I ran my last marathon – the 2011 LA Marathon. After that, I injured my Achilles tendon. That derailed my exercise routine, and I was never able to get going again.
A year ago, my father was diagnosed with dementia, and that motivated me to start taking better care of myself. I got back into running and strength training. Thanks to my amazing nutritionist Kaela from @nourish, I have lost 30+ pounds in the last year.
Thank you @RSRPD_rec for our Simi Arroyo Greenway. I was able to do most of a 20-mile training run today utilizing the entire path from Stargaze Place to Yosemite Ave and back.
Looking forward to the San Diego @RunRocknRoll marathon in 3 weeks.
