@chris @madeingermany @howiecohen Donald was a little intimidated by contractions, particularly how pronunciation changes between "do not" and "don't". #FirstGradeLife #Victus

Useless trivia: A common translation of the poem title "Invictus" is "unWordled", but the etymology of today's actually stems from the Latin verb for "to tame/subdue". "Victus" is much more military (conquered), which is very Roman (and American). 😅

@PhilGastwirth @IdahoLark So you’ve got lots of little hype machines cheering y’all on. I really do think it’s because they like eagles and the color of the logo is pretty.😂. Although one kid said his cousin has a friend who is a friend with one of the Eagles players and that’s enough for him to cheer them on. #firstgradelife

Love my first graders. Today I was talking to the kids about winter and reminded them about the freezing weather at Christmas. One little girl, who cracks me up on a daily basis, said, “It was cold ‘cause Santa’s sleigh was comin’ in hot!”😂 #teacherlife #teaching #firstgradelife

I got out of pajamas this morning and put on my daytime pajamas. I didn’t get a lot done around the house, but we played Jackbox games with our nephew, and I found several free downloadable math resources for my firsties. And I have my winter bulletin board all planned out in my head. Pretty productive lazy day, I think. #teacherlife #winterbreak #holidays #christmastodon #firstgradelife
