There is no better kind of nap than the afternoon naps of a teacher during the first week of summer break 😴😴

Y’all I only have 4 more weeks of paying for daycare 🎉🙏🏼🎉 we are so ready for Kindergarten!

When not one but TWO of my former student teachers won new teacher of the year awards 🎉🎉❤️😭 proud mentor teacher!

The countdown is on! I’ll be PSLF eligible in February 2024 🎉

Back to school night was fun AND I made my train home 🎉🎉 had to jog like half the way, but I made it!

Today my 5YO woke me up out of a dead sleep before 7am with the question “MOM MOM MOM if you shave something like a sheep or a horse or a bumblebee, will it have pink skin?” Being a parent is amazing 😂

So I found out I *wasn't* selected for a grant yesterday 😔. However, I am pressing on to get this moving! So, if you want to support a school who will compete in VIQRC for the first time, support my DonorsChoose project! donorschoose.org/project/wolves… #BlackListCleared

ONLY THREE more student loan payments until I’m PSLF eligible- I know I’m not quitting, I love my school! But like… knowing I *could* leave at any time in the future once this debt is wiped is a weirdly freeing feeling 😂

Zachary Parker demands Chancellor Ferebee provide Council of DC the status of the payments made on teachers' long overdue bonuses no later than December 14th. #redfored, #realsolutionsforkids

Over 5000 teachers downloaded the 2023 Puzzle, so I knew I had to make a 2024 version. This 2024 Puzzle is available in two different levels. Arrange the strips (horizontally and/or vertically) in the grid to form the digits in 2024. mathequalslove.net/2024-puzzle/ #mtbos #iteachmath

My favorite game!

6YO getting her first borrowed chapter books AND her first “coolmathgames” experience today at our favorite library! Thankful for our trips to Prince George's County Memorial Library System 🙂

😂 amazing

And now for all the DC teachers to play the fun game of “what are we doing with our kids when DCPS doesn’t close tomorrow” 🙃 hoping I’m wrong!
