What a way to end the week !

I was surprised that today wasn’t February 2nd because it sure felt like Groundhog Day on the @MBTA_CR

As we get ready for sukkot, I’m grateful for the time with A as we celebrate the chaggim together. And for nature for providing us with the mini pumpkins for our front yard from the ones that decomposed last year. וְשָׂמַחְתָּ בְּחַגֶּךָ וְהָיִיתָ אַךְ שָׂמֵחַ

@KatyDornbos @ScienceSprout @ChemEd2025 @ChemEd2019 @cossettej Definitely check in with @SecaurPhysics (he’s not on here so much but I can connect you) about AMTA physics Though I haven’t been to any AAPT maybe @msruggerio or Jeremy can help, but my understanding it’s definitely not the same vibe as Chem Ed

For some reason, my students did not find my Family Feud of beakers vs flasks nearly as entertaining as I do. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Some, at least, appreciated my enthusiasm #iteachchem

Shana Tova! My favorite pre Rosh Hashana dress from @superdesignershop ! A bee-utiful way to get ready for a sweet new year. May we have and health and renewal this year. (And yes, there are sugar molecules right near the bees)

PAEMST represents less than .000001% of national budget. Its demise will save American citizens about 1 penny each.“NSF remains committed to supporting the nation’s STEM teachers.” The question is: How will they show it? forbes.com/sites/taliamil…

Trying to Be Like a Proton and Stay Positive for #nerdytshirtfriday

Stand Back; I’m going to try science. The 1st official #nerdytshirtfriday of the 2025-2026 schools year. Definitely not the transition to school that I would have expected/wanted for my 25th year in the classroom, but here we go.

Back to school in three pics. Before school day After school day Surviving a stressful school day with a black raspberry frappe, though this time I had to do it w/out the kid

One of these years I’ll be able to sleep before the first day of school. This was not one of those years.

@karalu79 It’s been a challenging few weeks

@aserkin Ugh. I'm so sorry that you have to deal with all of this. 😞

How did my child tell my ex-husband that my engagement was broken off? That he (ex-husband)didn’t have to worry about getting new health insurance because I still cover him

@Chiasson_M1 @FlinnScientific They come with every Flinn order ! I collect them

@aserkin @FlinnScientific Nice collection. I have the "Do as you otter" one. I didn't know that there are other ones too.

You know you’re a chem teacher when… You have a collection of @FlinnScientific safety posters in your classroom. And yes, I still have Carol. #IYKYK #iteachchem

@KristinGregory7 I thought it was a funny way for my kid to tell his dad.

@aserkin So sorry to hear that on both counts Ariel

Last parting advice for A as he starts his new adventures at UML: Never Trust an Atom. They Make Up Everything. #nerdytshirtfriday

@my4munchkins @FlinnScientific I love check meow-it. I think the crab was last year

@aserkin @FlinnScientific Check meow out is my favorite … I do also like Carol. I’ve not seen the crab

@Chiasson_M1 I missed the mandated PD because I went to Morocco so the required make up was today and Monday. Teachers go back Tuesday for regular back to school meetings - students come after Labor Day. The anxiety was very high driving in

Reminding myself it’s a marathon not a sprint. #chemed2025 #nerdytshirtfriday #RuNNEr
