I expressed my hatred of barcodes recently and apparently most people aren’t bothered by those???

Like, who wants to look at a bunch of uneven lines of unequal thickness? Not me. 😤🤢

My current fixation is how fluffy chinchillas are.

The substitute shortage is a problem all over the country, but MAN is it a big problem in small districts.

There hasn’t been a single sick day (the wasn’t a prescheduled appointment) I’ve been able to get a sub because I’m sick.

We need more substitute teachers!

I stand by this- the “Ah-ha!” moment is the best part of teaching.

Today, I taught clarinet players at the junior high and high school level for Honor Band!

What a fabulous time!

One of the most important qualities of a good educator is the ability to create a connection with your students. You want them to care about class? Try caring about something they care about!
