Not trying to be a hero with my twisted knee, but I didn't realize ahead of time that it would be a march instead of a stationary demonstration. None the less I have no regrets, it was awesome to be out there with my husband supporting #publicschools!

Taking time for myself is a real struggle but it felt so good to get on the field again after a 3 year hiatus from the #highlandgames. It hurt so gooood. 😅 But seriously, I love and appreciate my body so much when I see how strong it can be!

The misty weather is calling to these kids. They just have to walk in the rain, and I completely get it.🥰 So nice to soak up the gift of water.🩵🌧

I might cry.💙😭 It's been a really hard week but I got my first teacher appreciation gift of the year. A student knocked on my door after school and said she had a surprise for me. A 🌈sticker and croc charms 🥰 #EduSky

It's that time of year again! I know it can be controversial to incubate eggs in classrooms but with responsible methods it can be so enriching to a life science curriculum. All ducklings will come back home to our farm to join our growing flock! #EduSky #iteachscience

I'm really enjoying our Springtime Chinampa project for our #ecosystem unit. S's learned about axolotls and Lake Xochimilco and were then given timber (craft sticks) and rope (yarn) and they built their own #chinampas. The cilantro is growing in nicely and we even added goldfish to a pond! #EduSky

For the 1st time in over a decade of teaching in Southern California, we had an earthquake in the middle of the school day! A hearty 5.2 about 11 miles away from us. The best part about it was all the excitement and curiosity from every class period that followed, asking a million questions! #EduSky

Spring Break is bringing me a welcome reprieve. The semester is pushing into the final lap and everyone is burning out but it's been a good run. Flowers are blooming, students are researching their favorite biomes, and we're getting muddy in the garden. #iteachscience #EduSky

Ugh, awful week, how do y'all handle it?
☠️ The State of the Union was appalling.
❤️🩹 Curious how many reports there are on me in the End DEI portal.
💔 Found out my former student was murdered in a gang fight.
And, of course, teach daily w/ compassion and patience for each of my 170+ kids.

Little bit of crafting therapy before going back to work. Finally got around to mounting my rhinoceros beetle from the #entomology class I took a few weeks ago. Definitely a fun new hobby I'll be trying again soon!

I was invited to co-present tonight's workshop on building relationships with students, but more specifically how educators can be safe and welcoming for our #LGBTQ students. Super grateful for the opportunity to share with my colleagues and have a greater impact in my community! #EduSky

Been working my bootie off organizing the district science fair and it was a treat to host the winners from all our schools last night. Still have to get our finalists ready for the county fair, but the biggest part is over. These kids are pretty cool!

Highlights of my UCR Botanical #Garden were smelling this "peanut butter🥜 plant" 🏵 and smooshing cochineals🐞 until my finger tips were purple. We giggled and were so stinking excited for these new discoveries! I wish all of you the joy of experiencing natural wonders with your colleagues.

The EOs are going to have a clear impact on public education even if they haven't eliminated the department yet. What are some resources you've found to help educators and school staff prepare for the road ahead? #EduSky
