"Take Your Parents to the Playground Day" is celebrated annually on the third Sunday in May. I sent this information to my sons so they could inspire their kids to follow the idea. My tie shows children in all sorts of playground activities; it was given to me by my EKU comrade Dr. Richard Day, who celebrated his birthday yesterday.
Today we are celebrating granddaughter EM's first day of preschool, so my tie is covered with children at play. Grandson BM is in kindergarten, and granddaughter TR stays in care with Beth and me. Meanwhile, grandchildren MJE, NDH, PRW, JWS and DRA continue in homeschool with their principal Jonathan!
I'm sporting a new-to-me tie to help me participate in an online meeting today! The Department of Teaching, Learning and Educational Leadership (in the College of Education and Applied Human Sciences) is developing its program for elementary education to be delivered fully online. So I'm meeting (via Zoom) with the department leaders to share my wisdom about Blackboard's "Ultra Course View." My tie shows children at play, and my tie tack says that I am a "Learn Ultra Rockstar." (This tie was given to me by Dr. Richard Day, faculty member in TLEL! I got the tie tack at the Anthology Together conference last week.)
