With some additional time now freed up in the schedule, I want to dig into soke recent work on AI in education. I enjoyed #TheAIClassroom and I'm looking forward to some new insights.

For the past few months, I've had the distinct privilege of being part of a local production of 'The Play that Goes Wrong'. It was a huge time commitment but also one of the most rewarding things I've ever done.

It's been really easy to feel frustrated and overwhelmed by all the crap news coming from this absolute clown. This won't change much, but it makes me feel a little better. #cdnpoli

I asked AI to give it a go.

Haven't posted in a while as I've been very busy with play rehearsals and a rapidly approaching report card deadline. I am still here! #teacherlife

Had it in the oven a bit longer than I would have liked because the cut was so big, but we're excited to dig into this!

I decided to get up early and get to the gym before a day filled with eating. Had to stop on the way.

Oh boy!! The puff pastry is all made and the Beef Wellington is heading into the fridge to firm up!

Foggy night at home. Always love how this looks. #medhat

Came into school and saw that the whole network is down. No phones. No internet.

Going to be interesting.

We had a "Black on Black" and "Anything but a Cup" day for teachers earlier this week. I work with some amazing people! @juniper00.bsky.social

Stop number 4 in the #MedicineHat Hot Chocolate Fest... the Campfire Craver from Nosh. The toasted marshmallow topping was particularly yummy.

Ended the day with a quick stop.

Got started with our Mock Trial today. Some students did an amazing job preparing questions and engaging with the process. Looking forward to hearing their reflections as we get our verdicts from the jury.

This line just hits a little different these days...

Excited to kick off our Christmas #FamilyMovieNights with 'The Nightmare Before Christmas.' We've got some Halloween treats that we held onto and my cozy socks. Good times!

Number 3 in the #MedicineHat Hot Chocolate Fest was a coconut caramel blend at King Bagel. We also grabbed some great breakfast sandwiches.

Next up for the #MedicineHat Hot Chocolate Fest... a 5-Mushroom blend from the Hat's Olive Tap. I wasn't quite sure what to expect from this one, but I was pleasantly surprised. Not too sweet with subtle hints of cocoa.

Alberta Teachers are in bargaining again today and tomorrow. I am grateful for the colleagues who are engaged in this important and difficult work.

I think someone likes the snow...

There's a Hot Chocolate Fest going on for the next month in #MedicineHat so the Dark Queen and I are kicking it off with a candy cane mint and a peach scone on a perfectly snowy morning.

If you see this, post a bird!
Here are some bluejays that kept stealing our cherries this summer.

It's my wife's birthday so my kids made the maple cake. It may not look like much, but it was still very yummy.

Post a picture you took (no description) to bring some zen to the timeline. Don't forget the Alt text.
