Detroit Creativity Project Has Stolen My Heart And Presented a New Challenge - go.shr.lc/YiSVOK via @Shareaholic
I would love for @Lin_Manuel to know that my 8yo daughter and her friend renamed the doggie at the humane society summer camp Piragua, because SnowCone just wouldn't do. @intheheights
So this district wants to focus on keeping everyone safe, not wasting resources and preparing content? How novel. How trusting and respectful of their teachers and staff. : RPS teachers won't be able to virtually teach from classrooms wtvr.com/news/local-news/kam…
@Lin_Manuel This is over a hundred pages of songs from #HamiltonMusical that my 10yo has edited himself to produce the musical at his elementary school. I watched tv on summer break when I didn’t play outside when I was his age.
Document this win. My two, constantly bunping heads, will argue about the difference between nibble and bite for 38 consecutive minutes, youngest children decided to wash my car together. For me. No prompting. Not fighting. They are working together. Water bill be damned. #
This looks cute but try helping your perfectionist 10yo write clean couplets for Mulligan’s lines in “Aaron Burr, Sir.” Counting syllables and explaining corsets. No idea how @Lin_Manuel did it. Desi is resolute to create and perform an elementary version. #theatreinourblood
All of this talk about covid and the classroom and the conversation being “adultcentric” rubs me the wrong way. No one in Michigan’s education authorty has invited teachers into the conversation. If we are going to be in the rooms, we ought to be a part of the conversation.
My daughter now impersonates me in texts. My spelling is so bad, Jon didn’t know it wasn’t me this last text.

Please consider helping to support the González Family. The middle child in this beautiful family was in my class this year. He is a sweet, soft spoken, and sincere student that loves scary books and graphic novels. I am heartsick. gofundme.com/f/qx468-support…

.@RepHaleyStevens - thank you for supporting impeachment.
You have your constituents behind you 🇺🇸
Now it’s time for Congress to quickly draft articles of impeachment and vote to impeach Trump.
Every day Congress delays puts our democracy at risk.

Langston Hughes' idea of making America, America Again makes much more sense then Trump's terrible plan. Please read.poets.org/poetsorg/poem/let-…
@BadlandsNPS Thanks for actual facts not alternative facts. I'd love a world that my children and their children can one day enjoy. nitter.cf/BadlandsNPS/status/823…
