Conferences over time for thanksgiving break! about 11 hours ago from TweetDeck
@pepepacha also think the language of math is so key with fractions 5:42 PM Nov 22nd from web in reply to pepepacha
@pepepacha good summary of all the fractions stuff we ask kids to learn- can't agree more that manipulatives are the key 5:40 PM Nov 22nd from web in reply to pepepacha
@langwitches well it looked good to me (of course I already use backchanneling) btw you used todaysmeet- is that free? 5:34 PM Nov 22nd from web in reply to langwitches
@langwitches did you get any comments/feedback from parents from the post you wrote to them explaining backchanneling? 5:27 PM Nov 22nd from web in reply to langwitches
@olballcoach yes that is true- against the option you need strong middle guys to take on blockers and make some plays too 5:15 PM Nov 22nd from web in reply to olballcoach
@olballcoach you really only need 2 BIG guys on the 4-4, your DEs are not too big as they are more quick to get qb/pitch guy on option 5:13 PM Nov 22nd from web in reply to olballcoach
@olballcoach yeah 4-2-5 is nice- but would it work against option? maybe if you have fast guys 5:12 PM Nov 22nd from web in reply to olballcoach
@olballcoach that's exactly what I'm thinking- put olb on the tight end (forearm shiver him at snap) and on weak side have olb outside de 5:11 PM Nov 22nd from web in reply to olballcoach
@olballcoach how about 4-4-3 for the option teams- lets you get a guy on the fb, and then you have olb and de for qb/pitch 5:07 PM Nov 22nd from web in reply to olballcoach
@olballcoach wow I'd say you need two separate defenses- one for the 2 spread teams and one for the option/ wing- t teams 5:07 PM Nov 22nd from web in reply to olballcoach
@olballcoach what type of offenses are you facing? lots of spread, lots of rush heavy offenses? 5:02 PM Nov 22nd from web in reply to olballcoach
@principalspage we have parent conferences Monday and Tuesday then have the rest of week off 4:49 PM Nov 22nd from web in reply to principalspage
@kjarrett just sent you an e-mail about PD- hope it helps 4:48 PM Nov 22nd from web
very disappointed from what I'm reading about harper's island bonus scenes- thought they'd have alternate endings but no new killer- darn! 7:52 PM Nov 21st from web
anyone know if the cbs summer mystery Harper's Island ever came out on DVD with alternate endings? 7:38 PM Nov 21st from web
I can't believe that comcast and directv can't agree on letting directv viewers see versus (mainly because I wanna see the cal/stanford game 7:26 PM Nov 21st from web
@sanmccarron I was pondering that too- got a dm about someone hitting theirs 7:22 PM Nov 21st from web in reply to sanmccarron
@kjarrett I'm sure you've seen this but it might be a good way to kick off some PD http://tiny.cc/t3yPb 7:10 PM Nov 21st from web
@mom2preteens did that with a chocolate cake once- didn't bother calling store or going back 6:59 PM Nov 21st from web in reply to mom2preteens
