Last night I got to spend my evening in community with Black business leaders doing amazing work in everything from healthcare to technology, to education.
We thanked them with good food and gifts. My heart is full and ready to move 2 more million into Seattles small business community. #cdfi

Educators love giving out certificates. 😆

I’ve been out of the classroom for longer than I was in it but I will contribute my time to open dialogue, community building, and advocating for quality public education.

My daughter’s teacher is pushing the addition and subtraction regrouping algorithm in 1st grade.

It’s a 2nd grade standard and she isn’t ready for this skill. it’s discouraging her.

So we made an abacus for homework instead.

Math should be hands on before using the algorithm.

Our school just sent us a notification that the WA State Dept of Health had to cancel their mobile vaccine clinic due to funding. They anticipated providing 3,000 vaccines throughout the remainder of the year.

Girl Scouts has been a great source of community for us this year. Happy to push these cookies so the kids can plan more activities together. 🍪

The school system won’t zap your kids creativity like some parents I talk to tend to think, but I do think there is value in being intentional with the tools and time you have at home to maintain creative thinking and problem solving

Classroom in my basement is my doomsday prep.

Public school is supplemental in my household. We’re ready for whatever nonsense happens over the next 4 years + the aftershock
