To everyone who helped bring the Obama Presidential Center to life, thank you. Michelle and I are so grateful for all your dedication and hard work over the years. I got a little teary-eyed tonight thinking about my mother-in-law, Marian Robinson.

Currently going through old blog posts again from the last 15ish years & remembering what a life line that was for professional growth & community. I remember how I felt reading them for the first time (& implementing them). I also hear your voices & see your faces as I read them.🫶

Just noticed this page in the back of my Hobonichi weeks planner. Would be a cool idea for students to use in class (if I was still teaching middle school) at beginning, middle, and end of year (since most of them, unlike me, GROW in their teens😆) for data, percents, etc. (except for bare feet🤢).

Hobonichi Weeks page encouraging user to write down common measurements proportional to their size (including icons). Ex: thumb to pointer finger, thumb to pinkie, elbow to longest fingertip, heel to toe (with and without shoes), stride when walking normally , wingspan. Also includes sizes of common items like credit cards (3.4”x2.1”), A4-size paper (8.3”x11.7”), letter size paper, Hobonichi Techo Weeks cover (3.7” x 7.4”).
Has a ruler in cm down the right hand side of the page.
