How this Title 1 teacher is spending her evening. My students have spoiled me with chocolate from Valentines Day!

#teachsky #teacher #elementaryteacher
A silver HP laptop sits atop a grey bed sheet while a red heart shaped box with "Happy Valentines Day" written in gold with a gold cupid and hearts. This box is filled with soft centered chocolates, a gift from a student for the holiday. Next to it is a teachers planner, filled with what was done during each time period of the day. This Title 1 teacher is filling in student progress charts to send home to families.

THIS FELINE’S NINE AND FEELIN’ FINE

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME, GUINNESS
Guinness the black cat with an incredibly goofy expression: his yellow eyes wide, round, and nearly swallowed by dilated pupils, while the tip of his perfect pink tongue bleps out.

Valentine’s Day date idea: take turns admiring your cat. From my collection, no documented date/info.
Black and white photo of a smiling white woman in Edwardian clothing, kneeling on a grass lawn to admire a white and tabby shorthaired cat. A man approaches from the background on the right.

I am so, so tired. And I know you are, too.

Here's “Death blowing bubbles,” 18th century. The bubbles symbolize life's fragility. This plaster work appears on the ceiling of Holy Grave Chapel in Michaelsberg Abbey, Bamberg, Germany. After the monastery’s dissolution, it became a hospital.
Plasterwork of a skeleton blowing bubbles set against a pale blue wall.

A day in the life of a Title 1 teacher. Using a variety of methods for reinforcing number fluency.

#teachsky #title1 #elementaryteacher
The items of a teacher. Yellow bears for counting on top of a worksheet for writing numbers. Next to them are a small pile of sharpened colored pencils for coloring in the numbers at the top of the worksheet. A pink caddy is filled with highlighters, pencils, pens, and a spray hand sanitizer. Next to it is a yellow Stanley filled with water.

There is a beaver hidden somewhere in this photo. See if you can find it despite its amazing camouflage. 😂 #wildlife

This little Winter Wren was the only dude in the yard that wanted to pose today… and he was still for about 1 second. 😂 #birds

Happy #SuperbOwlSunday everyone! 🪶 A good time to share this very special encounter I had, a while ago, with this adorable little Boobook owl, Australia's smallest native owl! 🤎 It was getting dark in difficult conditions so I was delighted to get a photo!🦉

#birds #photography #nature #EastCoastKin
A small dark chocolate-brown owl is perched on a branch, the slightly obscured by the main tree trunk. Seen in side profile you can see white feathers that appear in spots going down its chest and the edge of one wing. The owl is looking forward and slightly down with wide open yellow eyes, focus on an insect. The background is blurred in late afternoon dappled light.

On this Superb Owl Sunday, I'm excited to share this Boreal Owl (my first ever!) that I was able to photograph yesterday. #wildlife #birds
A Boreal Owl, around 8 inches in height and floofed up in the cold site on a branch. It is brown and white with striking yellow eyes. A Boreal Owl, around 8 inches in height and floofed up in the cold site on a branch. It is brown and white with striking yellow eyes.

Short-eared Owl taking a short break from hunting over the marsh at Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge, DE.

Always give owls space, don't trample sensitive ecosystems to get the shot, and never post nest locations on social media.

Frozen in a moment of grace...
A small stream flows through a wooded area. The water is still covered in ice and snow. There is snow and a few bare trees on the banks.

I made long cat valentines! 💌💖

[ #cuteart #artshop #valentinesday ]
A photo of 6 printed coloring page Valentine’s Day cards, featuring long cat illustrations by Aubry Joi. Some cards are partially or completely colored in with colored pencil & paint pen. Some designs feature silly long cat puns. All are sitting on colorful paper with glittery foam hearts & craft tools strewn around.

My couch buddy as I do student documentation on this snowy day.

#teachsky #specialeducation #title1
A planning book that says "Teacher 2025" sits on a red laptop on an ottoman. Ot sits next to two pale pink 3-ring binders filled with student documentation. The pellet stove in the background warms the house on a snowy day. Sadie the calico sleeps in a curled up awkward position. She's holding onto her back legs with her front paws. You can see her chin and up her nose with the way her head is twisted upside down.

🦬 This is a message for Secretary Burgum: The administration that appointed you has rapidly eroded our trust: we do not trust you.

Unless you show us you stand by your employees, we will not comply with you.

We are the NPS, BIA, USGS, BLM, BOR, USFWS. Mess with the herd, you'll get the horns.

Snow days are for bird watching
A tall bird feeder, filled with seed and six different little birds. Yellow finches, song sparrow, dark eyed juncos, black cap chickadees, house finches, and white breasted nut hatches. There is snow falling all around, coating everything in white.
