PSA to students: Please do not copy and paste your answers to questions from a website. The purpose of the work teachers are sharing is so we can see YOUR answers and YOUR thinking. I said what I said.

Students, I appreciate YOU for the work you’ve done during this closure. I know this is new for all of us and lacks the energy of a classroom. I miss how obnoxious, quiet, and sly some of you can be. The different personalities is what makes teaching fun.

Online teaching has taught me that I should not start a YouTube channel.

What Nall said... I couldn’t imagine being anywhere else!

Good luck to my students taking the AP Lit exam today!!

Today I should be playing heated games of Scrabble Cubes with students. Instead, I have a 1st grade telling me that I’m a llama and pronounces “pizzeria” like “pizza la ria.” I’ll let you decide where I’d rather be.

I hope the thousands (and thousands- the numbers are astronomical) of people who bought The Hate U Give this past week also buy books by other Black YA authors. We outchea. Support.

19-20 AP Lit students!!! Your test scores are in. You can check them on the AP website or send me a message and I can get your score to you. I was very pleased when I saw scores this morning. What a bright group of gentlemen I got to teach!

I don't know who needs to hear this but it's okay that you couldn't write today. There's tomorrow.
