Monday Must Reads: Volume 76
It’s Monday once again which means it is time for a new volume of Monday Must Reads. If you’re new around here, Monday Must Reads is my weekly-ish attempt at capturing the amazing ideas of (mostly) math teachers on twitter. My goal is that you will find at least one idea that inspires you in this week’s collection of inspiring tweets.
It’s an especially happy Monday for me because I was able to receive my first dose of the covid vaccine today. Oklahoma just opened vaccinations to teachers today, and I’m super thankful that my district made vaccine appointments for all teachers/employees who wanted to receive their first dose. I’ve been teaching students face-to-face since August, O I am extremely thankful to have this opportunity to get vaccinated.
