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 🦖

I was on the hunt for some new boredom busters when I saw this fun craft on @iteachinheels1's stories yesterday. Water bottle bird feeders! All you need is a water bottle, sticks or skewers, and some string. The kids pulled my washi tape out of the craft supplies and went to town. I helped Tommy cut three holes in his but Joey handled his own. He even added toothpicks to the top to make his "squirrel proof" 🐿️😂 We had a crazy rainstorm here in NJ today and so far, the bird feeders are still going strong. Do you have any boredom busters for me?? Send me all your ideas! ⬇️⬇️⬇️
