I accepted a new position working with students who are capable of improving math scores with a more intense class. We told the selected students. I will never forget the one girl whispering over and over "I'm not stupid. I knew it." It was heartbreaking.

We are very sad to hear of the passing of John Leeson, known and loved by #DoctorWho fans since 1977 as the voice of the Doctor's robotic companion K-9. ❤️❤️

So Happy Daylight Savings ☺️
We gained an hour and lost the will to do anything after 5 pm 🙃
I did dress like a student day. Wore a @GLScienceCtr science hoodie with my denim skirt. It read "mmmmm....π" HARD PASS on PJ day. I'm firmly committed to @LLBean, but I am NOT teaching in a flannel nightgown.

This one hurts. Walter was a kind, humble and loving man…and a friend. He will be missed by so many. My dad is joined with his friend in heaven.

I think I am old. A man at church didn't know that Angels in the Outfield, the 90's version he knew was a remake of the 1951 movie, set in Pittsburgh. Or that The Money Pit was a Cary Grant remake. Those movies were before me too, I just learned that the older movies were better
