50 years of a nation that dares to explore. 🚀
From flags flying across @NASA’s Johnson Space Center to the patches worn on spacesuits, from the flag planted on the Moon to the one orbiting aboard the International @Space_Station, these symbols remind us who we are and what we strive toward. As America marks its 250th anniversary, we celebrate a legacy of discovery and look ahead with hope — continuing the work that carries us from Earth to the Moon, Mars, and beyond and into the next era of human space exploration.
I’ve been trying to explain this to folks in order to define our up/down weather patterns since spring started, but this makes it a little easier.
This week also will have high temperatures that fluctuate between the 60s and 80s. It went from a nice beanie to an alien globule. Hope this helps. Image from NOAA and EU
We finally get to see it!!
Hello, Moon. It’s great to be back.
Here’s a taste of what the Artemis II astronauts photographed during their flight around the Moon. Check out more photos from the mission: nasa.gov/artemis-ii-multimed…

Nothing but good...

Correct. Bring them back.
In 2009, Sweden Replaced Textbooks with Screens: 15 Years Later, It’s Spending $120M to Bring Them Back share.google/IuXJOOGqvDGo2et…
Now THIS is good news! Math is a language. Once the basics, are down then the fancy stuff is doable. Media and social media taught us to be unintelligent. We ALL have intelligence. Don't give it away to people who don't care.

At the risk of sounding like an alien conspiracy person, I don't see a tail. I see a glowing object surrounded by less glowing objects. Of they're talking about the fluffy dust trailing behind..... I'm not buyin' it. 😉
The need is to have students reading independently by the BEGINNING of third grade.
Then a careful selection of book-per-month keeps them reading and engaged thereafter.

How did we get here? Reading is solidified by the end of second grade. I'm very sad and highly confused that ANYONE could be writing about how tutoring or closed reading STARTS after 3rd grade?! #worldturnedupsidedown
Before 3rd Grade, Not After share.google/YGhxrDsFEuNzqv9…
Great for middle or high school History Classes!
