You never know when the day after is the day after.
Mount St. Helens erupts in 1980. Steve Firth, a friend of the man who took this photo had the following to say:
“...That Pinto and dirt bike belonged to a good friend of mine and when he stopped to turn around, he took this picture.
He told me that there was lightning bolts shooting out of the smoke but he didn’t have the right filter on his camera to capture them at that moment. The picture could have been even more amazing.
It was used on the TV news and used to be on the cover of Mt. St. Helens brochure at the Johnston Observatory / visitor center.
He gave me an original 8×10 copy of it although it looked like he was a good distance away from the blast, he barely made it out of there alive.
Had the blast came more in his direction he would have died in seconds. Sometime later he returned and photographed a burned-out pickup with a horse trailer attached to it.
He told me he had talked to them that day and said they never made it out.
He is a freelance photographer so he took some amazing pictures of the aftermath as well. Anyhow, I thought I’d let you know a bit more about that fabulous picture."

AI, doesn't formulate a lesson; it creates resources and plans. A lesson is brought to life by a human, the teacher, who imbues it with personalised understanding and guidance.

When I was doing a thing that led up to mission/vision, we started by having everyone circle 10 words from a “core values” list (paper or form is fine). Then they reduce the list to 5 words then 3. We collected our results and it was really powerful.

My new principal got us all little chalkboards and colorful chalk markers and we all sat together in the cafeteria and each decorated one for our rooms and it was fun to talk about what quotes we were going to write etc, people liked it!

Take a walk around tour of everyone’s classroom and leave encouraging post-it notes for them. I kept mine in my closet all year for encouragement during a stressful year. The person is in the room and you meet them, talk for a little and then leave the notes.

Any math that students are doing should have them engaged in at least one of the 8 mathematical practices.
Many many worksheets have ZERO of these practices.
