That first step can be challenging. I will not deny it but it must happen to move forward.

Whether your child loves school or not the first day is full of jitters.

When they get home today give them a hug (if they still let you).

Some will want to share everything and others will want to collapse in silence .

Let them decide.

In our house we have big changes this year as the girls head off to two different school which means two new schools, all new teachers, and different schedules.

My head is already spinning and we just got started.

Hope all your kidsos have a great day.

Let’s be real: teaching during a heat wave feels like running a marathon inside a toaster.

Between sticky chairs and overheated children (and educators), we need all the tricks to stay cool—physically and emotionally.

Here are 5 tried-and-true (and slightly ridiculous) ways I’m surviving the school heatwave:

☀️Keep the room dark like you’re protecting bat skin.
☀️Elevate your water game with lemon + a pinch of salt.
☀️Thermos full of ice = sanity in a cup.
☀️Fans: mechanical or student-made—yes to both.
☀️Reward yourself with a spa-level cold shower when you get home.

Summer break is almost here… but until then, we’re fighting for our lives under fluorescent lights and sticky bulletin boards.

What’s this educator up to now…?

Hint: It involves a microwave, a mountain of kernels, and a whole lotta love for a bunch of excited kiddos.

Take your best guess below ⬇️

How many bags of popcorn do you think I’m making — and who is it all for?

Spoiler alert: I may never want to smell popcorn again after today.

Just when I thought we were done adding to the family…

Emma brings home a snail 🐌

She spotted this little guy and just had to bring him home in her lunch container — because that’s who she is.

Curious, gentle, and full of love for all creatures, big or small, even furry, slimy, or slow as molasses.

Her heart for animals melts mine every single time

I admire her big heart… even if it means housing a surprise guest with a portable shell.

What this educator is up to…?

Is it a snack? Is it science? Is it just me making a mess in the kitchen again?

Take your best guess!

(Hint: It’s squishy, sensory, and about to bring BIG smiles to some little hands!)

Drop your guess below ⬇️ and check back soon to see what we’re whipping up in the classroom this week!
