These are the buttons from my wife's granddad's WW2 RAF uniform. When you put them together, they make a mini-compass, for use if you get shot down behind enemy lines (which he did). It's the most Q-Branch thing I've ever seen.

Spring is coming!
It's time for finishing strong and preparing for the next chapter

I am not exactly an eco-warrior but do we really need this much packaging bottle nip.... Bottle spouts?
They are great products, but...
Dr Browns or @drbrownparent company
P. S. Any chance of special needs child level option?

Thank you for the chat mel and tara.

Have a great week. Good night

A3: Long walks (sunrise for me please) are key
I am racing to break this friday and them my son and I are going on a lego road trip to visitlego stores in the midwest. Just spending quiet time together
My wife and I are planning an art museum trip GETTING OUT

Last question of the evening:

Q3: What will you do in the near future to re-charge, re-ignite, and find rest for yourself to continue the year strong?

#flipclasschat

Yes I have reduced the creative and group work components due to distancing and contact tracing concerns, but I need to get more creative and get the interaction level between peers up.
My classroon is quiet...too quiet...

#flipclasschat

A2: I shifted schools at the begining of the pandemic but I have had to reel in some of the more asynchronous parts, and provide more restrictive but more clear directions and expectations. I also feel I have regressed to re-teaching inclass some elements
#flipclasschat

Q2: what changes did you make this year to address challenges in your classroom? did they work?

#flipclasschat

A1: I see some of the same motivation issues and lack of perserverence in school work from some students,
but in other students I also see the empathy you mention Tara and an increase in emotional needs manifesting as anxiety and detachment. #flipclasschat

Exactly, the argument for finals is that they need big tests to prepare for the next education level, but then we spend a week preparing them for that test, which is NEVER done in college
Just use the instruction time in a year we are trying to firm up foundations #flipclasschat

Q1: So this will be fairly informal tonight, but I am very interested in hearing what changes you have seen in students and the classroom as many schools and places around the world are coping with new normal in the Covid world.
What do you see?

Up early this AM went to find a bench to see the sun rise
Highly recommended
My bench was on the edge of a park for children, life & vitality
The cemetery on its border is a record of lives & place of rest
We are never far from either.
Today is a beautiful day to be alive
Enjoy!

Thanks! But dont forget @flipping_A_tchr Gerry Marchand 🇺🇦🇺🇲 Jon Bergmann

Finally got the last peice of the bathroom remodel done!
A marble shelf above the wife's fancy tub.

Shhhh... No one tell her the marble if from behind the urinals of an old hotel.

I am not even a science-y (technical term) but that is actually a great visual explaination.

I got in my son's car to move it and this inflated...
The 'auto-pilot' is just disconcerting.

Ummm... It is Nov 12th in Illinois.
Snow is not okay
