Happy February! It’s the month we celebrate Black history, love, and famous presidents— yet it’s the shortest of the year. Why, you ask? Find out in this K12 Teaching Moment.

Let’s travel back in time to ancient Rome. The Roman calendar year began in March and only had 304 days. That was until Roman king Numa Pompilius decided to align the calendar with the Lunar New Year, typically up to 355 days long.

Romans were superstitious of even numbers and considered them unlucky. So, King Pompilius added January and February to the calendar and changed each month to an odd number of days, either 29 or 31. But odd numbers across 12 months would sum up to an even number!

February had to be the “odd one out” with a mere 28 days.
The calendar we know today has changed since then, but February is stuck with 28 days—29 if it’s a leap year, but that’s a different episode!

Witches, vampires, and werewolves, oh my. In this special Halloween episode of K12 Teaching Moments, uncover the origins of werewolves and why they’re among the supernatural creatures we know, fear, and love today.

Every January, we honor the memory of Martin Luther King Jr. He’s one of many to champion the civil rights movement, participating in and leading peaceful protests for the right to vote, desegregation, and labor rights. He passionately recited his famous “I Have a Dream” speech, but did you know the original version of his speech didn’t include this iconic phrase?

Vicki Crawford, who oversees the Morehouse College Martin Luther King Jr. Collection, says there is only one of the speech’s drafts in his handwritten notes. It was originally titled “Normalcy, Never Again.” He worked on the speech until 3 AM, but not once did it include the word “dream.”

When he read the speech on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial on August 23, 1963, it was word-for-word. That was until gospel singer Mahalia Jackson prompted him to tell them about the dream. He went off script and continued improvising the speech we know today.

K12 started 25 years ago with one goal: to bring learning online. Today, more than 3 million students have chosen K12-powered online schools, and the employees, teachers, and leaders of K12 are committed to serving them another 25 years and beyond.

To celebrate 25 years of K12, real employees and educators share letters of gratitude, support, and their biggest cheers. Subscribe to our social channels to hear more stories from students, families, teachers, and employees and celebrate 25 years of K12.

In this episode of Kids Teach, K12 CEO James Rhyu tees up with student, entrepreneur, and golf phenom Carter Bonas for some lessons on the green. While James improves his drive, they share insights about what drives each of them to excel. They talk about their shared passion for providing education solutions: James through his leadership role at K12, and Carter through his non-profit start-up, Spectrum Golf.

Through the course of their discussion, it’s clear that, despite Carter’s youth, his teaching is on par with the best! James also offers some executive mentorship in exchange.

This is just one example of how rewarding a knowledge exchange between learners of any age can be. Throughout the Kids Teach series, we’ll highlight talented students teaching adults some new skills. Follow along and learn with us!
