A lot of people, they ask me how to help my company @thinkfoodgroup in this hard time, is there a way to donate. We made a special gift card for 20% off and the money goes half to continue to extend pay and benefits and half to our ThinkFamilyFund. joseandres.com/giftcard/

❤ make the best use of your time, kids!
No pressure out there, kids: In 1665, the University of Cambridge temporarily closed due to the Bubonic plague. Isaac Newton had to work from home, where he used that time to develop calculus and the theory of gravity. buff.ly/39PVgG2

Setting: 5th grade CS. "Ms. Smith! It's marshmallow man! And he's wearing birkenstocks! Here! You should have him" Thanks, I say. And then "I made it during math class" Oh. Cuz this looks like it took some focus. It still made my day tho! #middleschoollife #teachertreats

Yesterday was the #lastdayofgeo. It consisted of pop-up book presentations, a pinata, and a picture. #mathwithmssmith #smylezfordays #popupgeo19 #pantherSTEAM instagram.com/p/BySGuzRBkBUn…

The school year does not have to culminate with a final exam. Loving the opportunity to have kids combine their creativity with their knowledge of geometry. Cant wait to see the pop-up books they make! #alternativeassessments #studentchoice #studentvoice #geopop19 #pantherSTEAM
