Some Lady in UT
@someladyinut.bsky.social
New-ish SPED Math teacher, gamer, nerd, crime junkie, lover of paperwork and compliance, doing my best to be a mom of 3 girls, great wife, kind to others, and laugh often!
It’s wild-just everything. In a rural community so many of my colleagues don’t stay up to date with the news. I acknowledge that it’s easier to lean into my privilege of not having to worry every day. But to hear students tease each other about calling ICE…
It’s wild. It breaks my heart.

Today is conference day! When I shared my schedule with my husband, we realized I have reached the apex of nerdiness #iTeachMath #SpEd #EduSky #UCTM2025

Created a group project for students to perform error analysis on common mistakes with mappings and domain and range, and they killed it. They jumped into it and I had 100% participation. I love when students surprise you and you can integrate critical thinking activities. #iTeachMath #SpEd #EduSky

Literally goosebumps from my students after hearing “oh, that’s all!?” and “so we’re doing this …[precise description]?” We just finished such a tough unit, that feeling of a less challenging one is refreshing. #iTeachMath #SpEd

Going into the break, I was a little bummed that we didn’t have the full two weeks. But..tbh having these last two days to ease back into normalcy was nice! #iTeachMath #SpEd

Now entering the portion of the night that is the worst — can’t sleep but can’t finish wrapping without drawing suspicion. Yes, I lie to my kids. But my 3-year-old is low-key freaked out about a grown man sneaking into our house. Made an audible and we’re no longer hyping that up 😳😂 #GirlMom

What’s the Holiday movie that you can’t *stand* to have playing because you were made to watch it or it feels overly hyped?

I’ll go first…

It’s a Wonderful Life

The adrenaline has dissipated, and the stress of getting through this week has started to clear. Ready to zonk out for a few weeks! #iTeachMath #SpEd

Mid-year revelations of my 3rd year teaching:
1) Co-teaching can bring safety
2) Service settings *must* be evaluated yearly
3) Feelings of success correlate to strength of relationships
4) I really like it

There’s something very powerful about a stranger stopping to tell you that you’re doing a good job and to hang in there as your preschooler melts down while leaving a grocery store. Thank you (sincerely), I needed the solidarity. #girlmom #parentingisNOTforwimps

Teaching in December seems to bring the tiredness that seeps through your core and into your bones. #hatestandardizedtesting #iteachmath #EduSky

Not gonna lie, I’m late to the party, but *love* Satisfactory. Such a pleasant time sink —have needed the distraction lately #steam #satisfactory

Today was the end of my first trimester teaching 9th sped math. 😅 (I did elementary resource before)

Things I’ve learned: 1) most 9th grade boys touch each other constantly;
2) most 9th grade girls have impressive braiding abilities; and 3) (most surprisingly) I truly love these students!

We had such a good chat tonight. Love conversing with fellow educators 🥰

Takeaway tonight: increasing awareness of the beauty of mathematics increases the *appreciation* of mathematics

Enjoying my monthly UTCM book club 🤗. We’re reading “MATH-ish” by Jo Boaler and I *love* it!

Is there anything more fun as a parent than saying enough cringey stuff to your kids to get from a tepid “bruh” reaction to full out yelling and swift exit from a room?

Early morning musings:

*What are ways to get more gen ed teachers to *want* to attend and participate in IEPs?

*Enshrouded or Destiny 2 during Thanksgiving break?

I’m not sure if the Bears’ performance or the blizzard in my fantasy lineup was more disappointing today. 🥺

In my teacher era, enjoying a quiet space and time to prep for the end of the Trimester and IEP meetings. #nomakeupnocares #spedlife #happyteacher
