@CreeClayton thank you for your sharing today. Was particularly moved by your story about your father. Is it available in audio/print and where might I find it? Thank-you!
@FlairAirlines 2h 15m on hold and the call-back system not working. Customer Service person was great and helpful, but you are seriously understaffed!
Whatever else #Bill64 does, it replaces an entire system of publicly elected local representation with a centrally appointed board. @BrianPallister and the @PCcaucus and are no friends of democracy.

Les Canadiens sont profondément perturbés et attristés par l’attaque contre la démocratie survenue aux États‑Unis, notre plus proche allié et voisin. La violence ne l’emportera jamais sur la volonté du peuple. La démocratie aux États-Unis doit être respectée, et elle le sera.
Canadians are deeply disturbed and saddened by the attack on democracy in the United States, our closest ally and neighbour. Violence will never succeed in overruling the will of the people. Democracy in the US must be upheld - and it will be.
@PreetBharara @AnneMilgram In a completely hypothetical situation: if a former president is legitimately convicted & imprisoned, would that individual still be entitled to staff & office expenses, secret service protections, & daily intelligence briefings? Thank #AskPreet

If Trump spoke to the meaning and substance of the graphs rather than the length of the bar, I’d give him some credit. Here... look... this one the US has a small bar, so that’s a good one. Oi t.co/BqsA2EdqGp
@RbACorp hey... how many times do I have to Unsubscribe to your daily spammy emails?! Been a few years and I’m less interested in your services with each one.
@PreetBharara @AnneMilgram When you say, “separate and apart from...” what is the difference between “separate” and “apart”? Can something be separate but not apart from? Or apart but not separate from? Really value your perspective and insight #askpreet #StayTuned #CafeInsider
@milesmac Today the first of a summer virtual program series is up called Mathematical Colors and Codes! Episode One features Prime Factorization. There's a coloring sheet to download along with it. Enjoy! librarycalendar.fair… Play with Math this summer!
What does a VP do in an empty school at the end of the day when she’s missing the staff and students? If you’re Ms. MacFarlane, you sing. And try to smile. We miss you ❤️ #KGCommunity #KGCrusaders #BSDSchools #bdnmb pic.twitter.com/w2Sd…

This sounds like an amazing experience for both you and the students. Wow!!! I'm assuming you used more than SS time to do this? Would love to have witnessed this in action.
It's a fun activity - great roleplay stuff. One luxury of teaching all subjects is the time flexibility you get with integration. 🙂
This looks like a really (really) great activity! After reading some of your other posts, I wonder, too, how something like this might be replicated in the world of Minecraft. Of course, in this case, I think students probably got more out of interacting with their actual environment than they could have in a virtual world, but, many of the conversations that are being had around the use of Minecraft in the classroom center around such community building and project-based scenarios. Perhaps in a more urban setting we could justify the use of virtual worlds to supplement some of these authentic experiences you created. Very cool!
You're right. I think these primitive technologies are best experienced in "the wild". Lighting a fire in minecraft is the same skill as setting a block of granite (which is he same as breeding pigs): point and click. The real value to this project is actually trying to do simple surviva and appreciating how difficult it is.
I am working on an early man unit with my 6th grade class. Would this be appropriate for that grade? Also, we are in the Antelope Valley and our school is in a business district. There isn't a ton of nature around us. Any suggestions?
I expect you could do something similar with your group. The key is to let students try their hand at that primitive technology which doesn't all need to be indoors. In the end, if students come away with an appreciation for how knowledgeable so-called "cavemen" were, we've gone a long way to having them value traditional knowledge and respecting other people that appear less advanced. We did our outings in the sport field behind the school using whatever we could find. Maybe you have a similar space, or can walk to a nearby greenspace? All the best with it! Would love to hear how things go 🙂
