Love to see examples of corporate world (imagine a law office or bank) doing theme dress weeks teachers and students do. Examples are pride week, and spirit week but all theme days as well. Band shirts, jerseys, Halloween, pink shirt day, orange shirt day, clan/house colours etc.

Anything but a briefcase/backpack day? Pajama day, beach day, ugly sweater day are some others I’d like to see more regularly in the corporate world

I want folks interviewing in the media whose guests mispronounce peoples names to intentionally mispronounce their guests name until the guest freaks out. #Kamala4President2024 #namesmatter

A day in the life of a teacher: Arrive 30 min early for extra help before a test p1. Administer test p1, run to the bathroom in the 5 min transition. Prep during P2 some coverage and mark like crazy. Go to school chapel service(anglican boys choir school) 1/n

Hi Science Folks, I keep a blog for my students of interesting books that might be of interest here: sciencereadingisfun.blogspot… I'm looking to do something similar with podcasts. I'd like to display them in a similar way to my blog and I'm looking for ideas on how to do this.

Is there a more inclusive word/phrase to describe the first organisms in an ecosystem? I'm teaching succession and I want to avoid using 'colonizers' if I can. First organisms?? #ecology #sustainableecosystems #inclusiveteaching

Replying to @ChristiansonAmy
@ChristiansonAmy I'm a HS science teacher, and I'm wondering if you have any ecological succession practices that you could share with me and my gr 9 students? I loved you on Ologies and would love to share some info with my classes in Toronto about what is occurring right now.

I went to school in TBay, but indigenous fire practices (despite taking forestry classes) was not one of my majors and would love to share the knowledge and perspective of an indigenous fire ecologist with my students.

Sometimes when I’m down and I’m feeling very imposterish, I remember that I was once one of the 15 best baseball players and one of the best 19 ice hockey players in my hometown of 38,000 in 1996. That helps.

From a golf coach friend of mine: "We also want to complement your security force on a clean hit on Adam Hadwin, who was penalized for high bottleing. Hadwin should have known better than to skate into the neutral zone, in a vulnerable position."
