It's Spooky Science season! 🎃 I built a 6-slide Halloween slideshow with 5 hands-on experiments: pumpkin volcano, ghost balloon, monster slime, witch's brew, and floating ghosts. Low prep, 5th grade ready, and it gets kids talking instead of watching.

Abbott is celebrating $40 million for 411 Texas school systems. That is about $97,000 per system. You do not fix a teacher shortage or underfunded schools with a press release and couch-cushion money. Call it what it is: a photo op, not a plan. #txed #Teachers #ScienceEd

The race between Paxton and Talarico might be grabbing headlines, but it’s not the race that matters most when it comes to #txed policy. It's the winners of local and state races who will set the policy affecting your classroom. Learn more on ATPE's Teach the Vote.

I turned circuits review into an escape room. My Circuit Detectives challenge gives 5th graders 4 circuit mysteries and one vault code to crack in 40-45 minutes. Low prep, STAAR-aligned, and it makes them think instead of memorize. ⚡🔐

A loud science lab is not a class out of control. It is 25 5th graders noticing, arguing, and figuring things out out loud. Worry when the lab goes quiet. That usually means they stopped exploring and started complying. Noise can be evidence of learning.

My 5th graders can look up any science fact in 10 seconds. What they can't look up is whether to believe it. School still tests the lookup and skips the judgment. Facts are cheap now. Knowing how to test one is the whole job, and it is a very different skill.

My quietest 5th grader on paper can talk through a whole lab like a real scientist. If we only grade the worksheet, we miss the scientist entirely. Let them talk it out first. Science started as conversation, not fill in the blank.

We have spent years arguing about an imaginary danger in our schools while the real one keeps taking kids. No school is secretly operating on children. Too many schools have had to plan funerals. Protect kids from the real threat.

I get all my hospital letters txed to me now, after 2 important appointments went missing. One came a month after it was posted, so RM can't be relied on, and is a danger to people's health.
