But of course....Super Bowl Sunday! It's here. Such a big day for so many families, and a nothing day for others. Many of my students get so hyped, and I usually let them discuss it for a few minutes. Do you have any Super Bowl traditions in your classroom?

I love that you let your students get hyped about it! In my classroom, I usually have a fun discussion around team spirit and the excitement of the big day. Sometimes, I’ll throw in some trivia or relate it to lessons about teamwork or goals. How do your students react when you bring it up?

I let them bring it up, but i let them hype it up for a few minutes. I mean...may as well. Some of them want to talk about it.

It was sort of hard NOT to do anything given in the heart of Chiefs Kingdom.

Friday, I did a red and gold curtain. Then for their snack time, a mini little “party” which was sugar cookies, chips, red Capri Suns, football plates. We colored some Super Bowl pages. My logic is, they are GOING to talk about it and be hyped about it. I can’t fight it. Tomorrow, the plan is let them talk what they did for the game (win or lose) or what they did for the weekend.

I love this. I think having those moments create memories that they will remember.

Me:
“Who do you want to win the big game this weekend?”

Students:
“What big game?”
“Basketball?”
“Umm… I dunno what you’re talking about.“
“Well, I know the Vikings aren’t playing.”
“I don’t watch sports.”
“It seems like there’s always a big game.”
“The team with Taylor Swift?”

Me:
“Football! The Super Bowl!”

Them:
“Oh.”
“I hate sports.”
“My brother wants… Eagles? Are they in it?”
“I heard I’m supposed to watch the ads.”

Me:
“Work time!”

Needless to say, sports are not a driving force at my school.

This is funny, and such a perfect picture of some of my students. But I have several students who are very big into football and they get pretty hyped

Got hired on part time for equity to do corporate strategy at a startup and that funding should hit in the Fall.

Ik it’s a startup but I feel like this is taking advantage of resources and I don’t give away my photos for free. Am I being too stubborn?

Hi Guys,

Thank you.

Hi Fishes, I need your advice!

I joined CG 6 months back and was on training for 3-4 months for Dynamics CRM, completing multiple MS certifications. Post that I was mapped to an account for the project & was under shadow.

After shadow completed it seems like there's no project openings in the account for which I was selected. And now management wants me to go for other certs.

Please help me know whom can I approach & ask for project openings/tagging. I'm worried as it's already been 6 months!

Need a sanity check here.

When I joined my current company, we were on a quarterly bonus structure with guaranteed payouts each quarter. This was, in fact, how the recruiter said he could meet my salary request.

The company just announced we are moving to annual payouts only, with no payments for 2023 until May 2024. There are no raises happening.

This amounts to 12% less money in my pocket in 2023 plus inflation.

Is this standard, or should I be looking for opportunities elsewhere?
