So this is what class Halloween parties look like

So this is what class Halloween parties look like in 2020. What are your kids doing for Halloween this year? Any fun ideas?

When I tell you things have been CRAZY around here

When I tell you things have been CRAZY around here, know that I am not kidding 😜. Halloween's 4 days away and I just brought the fall decorations down today. Hey, we made it! Our yearly Halloween tradition is to glue googly eyes on ALL the things 👀. Those ugly gourds that no one likes? I love them because they make the cutest little creatures! Are you doing anything fun for Halloween this year? 🎃

This year, it's not about being perfect. It's abou

This year, it's not about being perfect. It's about making connections, even when students have their cameras off. It's about trying me things... new technology, new apps, new virtual activities, new EVERYTHING. It's about stepping out of our comfort zones and onto camera to support our students. It's about encouraging student engagement through a screen. It's about finding new ways to do the things we always did.
💡
This year, we're in survival mode, dealing with Wi-Fi issues, tech problems, and not having the right wire to use dual screens (tell me HOW, out of ALL the wires I've hung onto all these years, that NONE of them are what I need? Anyone else have a drawer full of random wires that you're keeping "just in case?" Still waiting for the day I use them. Never throwing them away). Let's give ourselves some grace while we do our best. Any other teachers out there just trying to figure it all out? "Thumbs up if you're with me."

My oh-so-subtle sign that hangs outside my classroom/ bedroom to remind my kids to be QUIET while I teach. Next to it is a dry erase board in case they need to tell me something during class. My moment of panic was when I suddenly got kicked off my class meeting and the little dry erase board came sliding under the door saying "Mom! No Wi-Fi! What do we do?" 😱 Have you had any moments of panic? And does anyone have any tips on getting better Wi-Fi? What the heck @comcast? Help me out!

I’m getting tons of messages from teachers thank

This was supposed to be the summer I took my family to England to meet my extended family. Well, 2020 had other plans and we had to come up with a more socially distant summer activity. So we decided to buy an an old fishing boat instead! What's more socially distant than hanging out in the middle of the ocean? It's not luxurious (did I mention how old the boat is?) but it's a ton of fun. The kids love catching the little sand sharks we have around here. And me? I just like chilling on the boat. But don't worry @its_me_lucyp, I'm still coming to England, just not this summer. You can find me on the boat in the meantime 😎 Did Covid change your plans? Have you done anything fun this summer?

Age check: Who remembers waiting over a month to get the thing you ordered? Now we're grumpy when we have to wait a week. Come on, Amazon. I need my craft sets and water guns right NOW. #priorities

ETA: When I first typed that priorities hashtag, autocorrect changed it to #adulthood, which I'll take as a confirmation that I'm doing it right.

We've just gotten info on next year's reopening plan and it's just 😬 no matter which way I look at it. Instead of stressing about how to manage a hybrid schedule, I'll focus instead on how many times I can post this photo with different captions (this is #3). Currently accepting caption submissions 🦖
