@MissKayTeaching Truth. I spent my entire Spring Break grading and lesson planning (first weekend evenings too) and spending the last weekend before we begin again tomorrow at a work conference.

A thought... Maybe me and my friend shouldn’t be spending our Saturdays in Starbucks doing work? Maybe we should be able to have a weekend like everyone else? In an ideal world, yes. But not for a teacher. Work-life balance is just not feasible at the moment:(

@IBchemmilam Student who has not done any work this grading period other than tests emails me the night before grades are due to tell me she is doing it all and ask if she can schedule a 1-on-1 Zoom meeting TONIGHT to go over "a few little things I don't understand" Spoiler alert: I said no😡

If any teachers need to vent, feel free to yell at me and I'll respond with something unusual and erratic.

Science = Art = Love this!!

Fun intro today—filled 6 types of objects in eggs & Ss had to id w/out talking who had the same objects. These became their lab groups. Groups collaborated& shared with the class what was unique about their sound & what properties of matter were useful. Can you match them?

Love that we have such a great park system in Coppell! So many opportunities to bring the classroom outside! @CHSHome #NRPAGoldMedalFinalist

@SnySciCHS Okay! God is never late with your lunch money! @angie_knechtel

A6: Pasta with any sort of cheesy or creamy non-tomato based sauce. Bonus points if it has mushrooms! #CHSHome

My favorite family tradition is our monthly meal with all our DFW cousins. If everyone’s there, that’s 6 households and 22 people, including 11 kids, one dog, and of course frequently the addition of visiting out-of-town kin #CHSHome

So many of the techniques we already use for informal formative assessments can also be used to support linguistic learning #CISDESLBIL

“Every time we ask students to respond to a question or perform a task and fail to hold them accountable for their response or performance, we send them a message: You are not expected to achieve.” pg 43, Sheltered Instruction in Texas, John Seidlitz #CISDESLBIL

A3: Biggest pet peeve? Micromanaging! If you trust me enough to ask me to do it, let me do it #CHSHome
