Went to a book fair for remaindered books and got a few for me an a haul for my classroom. (Left are mine)
Last month’s chastisement from the overlords that I have innapropriate books made me nervous but I stuck to my guns and bought what I thought the kids would connect with.

Life update:
Due to many snow days, the school I work for is going straight through spring break. In an effort to keep it from being the worst week ever, we’re instituting Ancient Greek Week with toga party.
Thus…
this morning I taught Euclid’s Postulates to 8th graders while wearing a sheet.

Bit of a work in process
I spent time, as a kid, living near remains of the Japanese Internment camp, Manzanar. If you don’t know this ugly bit of US history, it’s worth noting. These days, it’s a Nat’l Historic site.

Day 29: book cover you love
Tbh I don’t have a lot of book covers that stand out…
I have a slightly beat up version of Emily Dickinson’s poetry that I’ve always liked the ink silhouette on the cover.
