A hand delivered surprise from the Discovery Explorer himself?! How lucky am I?! Thank you so much @DiscoveryESPTA for this sweet quarantine surprise! ❤️🤍

So grateful for these beautiful flowers that will last me longer than this quarantine, that’s for sure! They’d be perfect for our notorious class ‘flower shop’ that was open daily during recess 💐🌷🌿 (prices ranged from 3¢ to forty ten billion dollars for the really good stuff)

Today is #NationalNursesDay Take a moment to thank a nurse you know, and also the many nurses you don't know.

This might be the most thoughtful surprise I’ve ever gotten during a Teacher Appreciation Week- a VERY special, in-person, 6-feet-away delivery from a sweet student! 🌺 I miss these little humans so much! ❤️

@DiscoveryLibr @DiscoveryAPS @DiscoveryESPTA @APSLibrarians I recognize that cutie pie!

This busy week is ending on the HIGHEST note- today I started the first batch of video chat check-ins with my students and their parents. Oh how those sweet faces bring me joy. Missing my Room 119 family like crazy, and wishing everyone some calm this weekend! ☀️
