They are good friends IRL from what I have read. They started in Congress at the same time, have security backgrounds, and it's awesome that they will both be Governors at the same time too.

I want to have a basic skills lesson but I don’t know where and when to fit it in - how to use email, how to use Canvas, how to use PowerSchool (where their grades are posted), etc.

I teach struggling readers in middle school (HMH's Read 180 program) and I think normally I read 1-2 books a month for fun but now...it depends. Full-time job + grad school so yeah.

My goal was to read 25 books for fun this year. I'm on #15. I am a full-time teacher (middle school English now) and part-time grad student.

We loved Season 1, but this season has been a slog. We have 3 more episodes to go before finishing off Season 2. I am on the fence about a Season 3. I have noticed the lack of hype around it this year. It could be just a sophomore slump though. Hard to tell yet.

The struggle is real. Lucy woke me up 15 minutes before my alarm today.

It's in my library queue. I need to read more Ray Bradbury. His short stories are amazing, but the only novel I have read by him is, of course, Fahrenheit 451.
