Today I received a stack of persuasive letters from one of our 2nd grade classes. Their assignment was to write to the principal and try to convince me of something.

There were a lot of strong arguments in those letters, but this one stood out.

The student made a great case for having ice cream every day for lunch — pointing out that everyone loves it, it has milk so it will make us stronger, and it will make students happy.

But the part that really caught my attention was the ending:

“In conclusion ice cream would be a popular and fun snack to have every day… or else we will bang on your door at night.”

I had to choose this one to share. I appreciate the creativity and determination from our 2nd grade writers. I’m still reviewing the proposal… but I may also start locking my doors at night. 😄

I really enjoyed this article highlighting the nation’s top teachers this year. A big takeaway for me was how much they lean into community and real-world connections.

Teachers: what’s one way you connect learning to students’ lives or your local community?

This year's top teachers bring their communities into the classroom, and vice versa.

I appreciate articles that try to cut through the noise and focus on tools teachers might actually use.

What’s one tech tool you wouldn’t want to teach without right now?
And what’s one you tried and quickly moved on from?

Caplan: I've tested more than 200 Ed Tech services this year. Here are the most useful for teaching.
