So much fun with our guest readers for read across America week. #visaliausd #goshenvision

Sorry, Margaret.

A “leprechaun” made mischief in my classroom and changed the calendar to June and thus declared it the last day of school.

My youngest found Buffalo Wild Wings shirts at a thrift store and bought all of them for her and her siblings… I don’t get the appeal, but they loved them

Adventures in teaching—-found a pair of unclaimed chonies outside my classroom door. At least it wasn’t poop.

I’ve been using a math pilot this year. Y’all. Here are some of the strategies I’m seeing. Problem -13+8 Student “I changed it to 18+3 instead” Other student “oh I saw 10+11” They’re six. Math has been so fun.

Dear coaches everywhere- I don’t care what time practice ends, but please, please end when you say you will. I’m just trying to plan my life. And I don’t want to wait in the parking lot for an hour, and I don’t want the panicked “we finished early where are you?”

Come and join us for a day of learning together!#cvcue #visaliausd

If your partner is a teacher…

Bringing mosaic into the classroom for our Cinco de Mayo art show —I used Mexican Folk art embroidery patterns and a piñata coloring page as templates. It’s messy, but I love how it’s coming out.

On this, the first day of summer…I am up to take my son to summer school. #parenting #teachermom

Holy shit...what a thing to wake up to!! There is no power in the world quite like a year-long John Green hyper-obsession mixed with the power of Nerdfighteria.
