Thank you, W. Kamau! We teachers and students appreciate you. You rocked it!
Last night I won Celebrity Jeopardy. All due to all the Olivia Rodrigo prep that I did w/ my 10 y/o. Knowing Driver’s License led to me getting a Daily Double. Inspired by @margaretcho.bsky.social , I did a TRUE DAILY DOUBLE!
The money is going to @donorschoose.bsky.social for teachers.

Senator Jim Banks (R) isn’t sorry he told a fired federal worker “he probably deserved it”.
He went on to say the worker was “complaining about losing a left-wing woke job in the federal government that should have never been a job to begin with”.
The job was helping people with disabilities.
