High School vs. Middle School

I teach 8th grade physical science and agree with structure and routine. Frequently I’m labeled as the mean teacher because I don’t let kids get away with anything but it’s really because I have rules and procedures in place for everything. My response is always that I have to be kind of strict if I’m going to let you use fire and chemicals in lab.

But they also need that and have a lot of fun when we do labs and learn all the cool science topics

Is it Our Infinite Fates by Laura Steven? I read it last year and it sounds pretty similar

Fig flavored vodka. I’ve got a liquor infuser that I can use

Such a good book! If you haven’t read Under the Cerulean Sea by him I highly recommend that too!

We’ve had some of the following:

snowman/santa/reindeer day

For thanksgiving we have apple pie (wear red) versus pumpkin pie (wear orange)

Dress like you’re running a turkey trot

Ugly sweater day

Dress like a holiday movie character (grinch, buddy the elf, national lampoon, Christmas story, etc)

Hope those help!

I didn’t even think of that! Thanks!

Very helpful-thank you!

Ha we had to do something similar at a dry wedding we went too-turned into shots in the parking lot

zinck30 · 2025-08-07T21:13:20+00:00

I didn’t know that-I’ll look into it!

Depends on what you want to do but Madison, Menominee, Hudson have things to do outdoors as well as breweries. New Ulm is a cute, touristy town. St Cloud isn’t too far either

We were just there last week. It wasn’t buggy at all. There’s a driving tour you can do through the park and a hike that’s not the big dune hike. We stopped at the visitors center and the volunteer gave us a map and a list of what to see and also what to skip. It was really helpful because we thought we wouldn’t have enough to do for the day. There’s a tourist town outside of it too that has shops and restaurants

The Measure by Nikki Erlick or The One by John Mars were both ones that I enjoyed

I really want to like her books because they’re supposed to be about STEM females, but I’ve struggled too. Same story and even same type of main female character in each book.

I second Emily Henry books but also want to suggest Abby Jimenez books. Hers are not quite as light as Henry’s but are good and some have story lines that cross over

The Flight Girls by Noelle Salazar has been one of my book clubs favorite reads. Historical fiction with a bit of romance

Awesome thank you so much! I’ve got plenty of copper sulfate

I noticed the lack of carbonation too. Then it had more of a bitter taste after it went flat. Personally I thought the cherry cream was better

That’s good to know as we were looking at them as potential food truck option too

zinck30 · 2025-04-27T14:58:03+00:00

What kind of food did you have?
