I need friends on my NYT Games friends list. Any takers? 👀 I play Wordle, Connections, and the Mini daily like it’s my job. 😂

Enjoyed time celebrating @StembergerLaRu with my colleagues today for (belated) AP week. An awesome AP to work for who supports us day in and day out in all endeavors. So grateful to work with her 🫶🏻

Did blackout poetry with my students for Literacy Week! I love seeing how creative they were with it. #FLCelebratesLiteracy @StembergerLaRu @eidie_velez @GalaxyMiddle

Tomorrow, 10/11, @DonorsChoose is matching donations to equity focus schools. I work at one meaning any donation to my project would be doubled!

What is the song using the most metaphors? Hint: it’s not “we didn’t start the fire.”

I’m feeling energized to return to the classroom after the break this summer, but I’m going to miss my baby more than I can express. Being a working mom is difficult, but I know I have to do it to provide. Praying to God for some comfort. 😭🙏🏻

Aubrey and I both spend a lot of our summer napping. I’m not mad about it. 🥰

As a new mom (and teacher when it’s not summer) I feel my new car decal is perfect. 😂

Helping out this morning with Galaxy’s Amazing Race Algebra review for 8th graders! I’m most excited to watch the students struggle through their “speed bump” — having to sit in complete silence for 3 minutes. A challenge that I’m sure feels impossible for 8th graders 😂

Next week is Teacher Appreciation Week! Please join us as we celebrate our Volusia County School Teachers all week long! #TeacherAppreciationWeek #WeLoveVCSTeachers

And/or, get your car washed!

You can also enjoy some tacos on 4/5, and 20% of proceeds will be donated.

Today was one of those rough days in this profession. I’m grateful that these days are much fewer and farther between this year than last. Tomorrow, we start anew.
