Happy Monday! I’m coming to the realization that summer is almost over. I’m helping out with vacation bible school this week, and I’ve been telling myself all summer that I have to start thinking seriously about school after VBS is over. To help get me in a back-to school mood, let’s take a look at some tweets I have found inspiring lately. If you’re new around here, welcome to Volume 86 of Monday Must Reads, my weekly-ish attempt at capturing the amazing ideas shared by (mostly) math teachers on twitter.
