Super thankful tonight to be part of @USAA ’s @Honeywell_Home Lyric leak pilot program. It saved us a LOT of heartache today after an inspector left the washer drain loose this week. Phew!

I am gladly saying goodbye to 2017. Personally, it was my healthiest year since 2008. 3 5ks accomplished! Socially it was a year of heartbreak as I watched our country elevate sexual misconduct, racism and God as a politician. Looking forward to new beginnings in 2018!

#redforedaz These are the totals of my spending in 2017 and 2018 on Teacherspayteachers for supplements and curriculum for my classroom. A total of $389.56. This doesn't include the Amazon orders which that arrive almost weekly. I love my job, but AZ can do better!

Think about it Thursday: One way we responded to reading in distance kinder last week was renaming our Zoom selves to characters in a book we'd read and then playacting/retelling the story together in small groups. #innovatingplay #kinderchat #1stchat #2ndchat

@pernilleripp I wish it was better. Love my students but their needs exceed my time and ability to address. That’s exhausting. And the district and admin demands and meetings are off the charts excessive. Just let me teach! I’m halfway decent at it when I have time to plan and reflect!
