Today’s baking tip: add Butterscotch morsels to Trader Joe’s pumpkin bread mix…made mini muffins today with that combo…it’s possible my husband and I will eat all of them today! #tasteslikefall

Happy Halloween from our little culdesac of fun! #neighborsandbestfriends

Sometimes…new windows aren’t what you want but they are exactly what you need! #alloverthehouse #lookingforwardtonextheatingbill

There is no better teacher and no finer human than Clark…we are fortunate to work with and learn from him!!

Every child has the right, just like White kids, to see themselves in the curriculum reflected meaningfully and accurately. They have the right to learn about truth. Otherwise, it's a "learning loss." Go fight against that.

May I just say that Jennifer Hudson and Chris Stapleton were amazing on the CMAs?! Jennifer Hudson is a freaking national treasure! #lordhavemercythatwasgood

When your students know you REALLY well…fun gifts like this show up! #CrochetingTheOffice #WinterBreakproject #Iwillpostpictures

In the summer of 2020, my sweet dad and I began going to get Krispy Kreme doughnuts almost every Sunday morning just to spend some time together. Even though he died in June, I still kept this event in my calendar…until today. I miss my daddy every day.

OOOHHHH!! I love stuff like this! Can’t wait to tell my historians tomorrow! livescience.com/ancient-human-…

We wove our economic standards into a discussion about the Russian attack of Ukraine….the kids have been asking questions and some are so anxious about what this conflict means for them. Today’s lesson seemed like the responsible thing to do. #kidsfirst

Great day walking to Linville Falls…the weather was amazing, but my walking buddies were perfect!!

Main reason for our trip to Boone…so thankful to spend time with our App SENIOR (and time with our app freshman son too!).

Broke out the ol’ KWL today to see what these sweet historians knew about the Silk Road…what they wanted to know…and then we recorded what we learned. It was a good day…#lovemyjob #middleschoolteacher

Now is the time of the school year where showing grace to your students and yourselves is most important! Do not grow weary of doing good.

I am a better educator and better person…for knowing these three people and working with them for four years. Just going across the hall…to teach ELA w/another 6th grade team…but it seems like it’s miles away! Love the OG Troopers with my whole heart! Apex Friendship Middle School Mrs. Gabbard

Picked up my college bestie in Stokes County and headed to NW Indiana to visit our sweet college suitemate! Saw Lake Michigan for the first time, ate way too well, and laughed deeply and often. What an amazing way to connect with dear friends. ❤️ Meredith College #Classof88

How and why do historians need maps? We made maps…and we read maps…and it was awesome! Apex Friendship Middle School #lovemyjob

My favorite show…so deserving of these wins!

Mike Farrell and I today toasting the 50th anniversary of the show that changed our lives - and our brilliant pals who made it what it was. MASH was a great gift to us.
