I don't know if I'll be any good at it, but I really want to move from instructional aide to elementary school teacher next year. I'm learning so much as an aide and just had the privilege of sitting in on/contributing to parent-teacher conferences.

The kids are all right as are the parents.

I wasn't going to watch the Super Bowl or its halftime show, but now I'm 100000% in.

Historians AND experts??????

Sorry, friends, you are JUST historians AND NOT experts.

Screen shot reads: Trump's use of National Guard may have lasting impact on cities and troops. Historians and experts say the administration's efforts to deploy National Guard members across the country could affect troop readiness, training and morale.

Timeline cleanse. Beauty berries, native to DC.

Clusters of small magenta berries nestle against green leaves with droplets of water.

In my former profession (Professor of History), I had a handful of colleagues who had taught in K-12. It doesn't seem to happen the other way around. I can't be the only person who acted on the I-want-to-teach-them-earlier impulse???

Thinking about all the money spent to militarize DC as the ceiling falls in our kindergarten classroom’s bathroom. (Acoustic tiles and water. No one was hurt.)

Standing in a bathroom with a teacher and 21 kindergartners during a lockdown drill is heartbreaking. My job is to keep it together for them, but I looked at their sweet small faces and it was all I could do not to sob.

I just checked out Damaris Phillips’s vegetarian cookbook from @dcpubliclibrary.bsky.social. It looks great but I can also guarantee you she’s not making beet and feta burgers while wearing this white blouse!

A white woman with long blonde hair wears a white blouse with blue embroidery at the shoulders. She smiles down at a glass bowl while she pours something into the red ingredients at the bottom of the bowl.
