When it’s 11 at night and you realize your students need an acceptable pen for tomorrow’s AP Lit exam! 😂

There is a guy on a jet ski wearing a @DetroitRedWings jersey and flying a Red Wings flag. #NHLOutdoors

I’m always interested in who the “we” is when people say “this is not who we are”

Just imagine if someone would have had the audacity to kneel during the anthem, today!

I’m so excited to be back in my classroom! This year marks number fifteen! First up is an intense study of Kendrick Lamar’s “Damn.” album and David Foster Wallace’s “Consider the Lobster.” #considerthelobster #aplang #aplit #writingislife #read #readasamatterofselfrespect

This lobster roll has me ready to start AP Lang... if you know, then you know ;) #aplang

Your grandparents may have had to walk uphill to and from school, but my students took their AP exams in the middle of a pandemic! I believe in our youth! #youvegotthis #aplang #aplit

The building is closed. School and learning is not! Watch what my students and colleagues can do! We got this! #allinvikings

Today my classes discussed how to approach a poem Socratically as a way to discover which questions we need to be asking. We have to know what to ask before we can attempt an answer! #allinvikings #stilllearning

Internet must be considered a utility, not a luxury!
#1 Thanks food service. #2 I hear, “How can we help with student learning?” My thought..put strong WiFi hot spots in public parking lots, dense housing (trailer parks & apartments), subsidize high-speed internet in low-income households. Do it tomorrow! It is an equity issue.

When you need a pick-me-up and your student messages you to say she’s been accepted into the Univ. of Mich! Congrats Karoline... And we’ll earned! #allinvikings

Been homeschooling a 6-year old and 8-year old for one hour and 11 minutes. Teachers deserve to make a billion dollars a year. Or a week.
