As a teacher, the weekends are so important for rejuvenation—for us and for students. My morning walks are changing, and both the beauty and the relaxing sounds of leaves below my feet and leaves rustling on trees is a welcome change. #fall

Reading about any kind of artist’s take on the creative process is one of my favorite things EVER, and it influences my teaching, writing, and curriculum design. Finishing Jeff Tweedy’s book right after landing and pulling up at O’Hare seems wildly appropriate. #creativeprocess

I love seeing how excited my teenage students get when I put out all the supplies for a project. Kids of all ages inherently love to CREATE! #EduSky #highschool #teacher

Some of my freshmen chose to do adult coloring pages after their quiz today and while waiting for others to finish. It gives them a nice brain break, but it is also known to be calming to the nervous system. #highschool #EduSky

It’s a chai, patio, and great book type of morning! I’m halfway through, and I know this will be a back-to-back 2x read. The first time through is for the “big picture”; the second time is to implement. #edbranding @drrenaebryant.bsky.social @lynettewhitesocial.bsky.social @burgessdave.bsky.social

The busy “back at it” feel of the week after spring break is over: hello weekend! The rain took a little break, and it’s so nice to see signs of spring on the pup’s and my walk! (Of course, I’m still lesson planning in my head…) #teacherlife
