This is a trip I really want to do with my kids!

Cape Cod pond colors

One of my students told me she's going to the island of St. Louis for spring break. I asked her if she meant St. Lucia but no, she's 100% sure it's St. Louis

Can't wait to share with my middle schoolers - minus the swearing

The only good part of laryngitis is making it sound worse to get out of conversations I don't want to have.

My tea is on point this morning

Ugh, when the teacher writes TOO fast and puts the wrong TOO in!!!

When you're at work and that person who talks to much is complaining about other people who talk to much....

Harriet Irving does...

This probably goes without saying, but teaching is nearly impossible with laryngitis

Kind of love how I show up in the reflection

I just wrote the date on something and almost filled in the year as '98....just to show you where my Monday morning head is at.

If you give a teacher a rainy Friday she'll want a muffin and a nap to go with it...

Before we read The Giver, I ask my students to brainstorm ideas for their perfect world and b/c they're 12 I get everything from end world hunger to perfect surfing waves all the time. #teaching #middleschool

This morning as I showered I decided that the gender binary should be abolished in favor of the way we talk about freckles -some people have a lot of freckles and some people have a few. It's so clearly a spectrum.

Upper 40s and sunny in Maine today so the adults are all in winter coats and the kids are shirtless on the trampoline.

In middle age there’s a lot of keeping track of who’s kid is in crisis and who’s parents are dying.

I am here for Maines version of fat bear week!

We have one dog and my kid is pushing for a new puppy.
Me: NO WAY!
Also me: *on the animal adoption page constantly*

I feel this 100% - even 3 priorities is a lot!!!

Was the 11yo sleepover birthday party worth the hangover? Jury is out!

Going on the animal shelter adoption page is a very dangerous way to procrastinate

Ms. Kaufman, instead of the science test can we watch March Madness? #teaching #middleschool

My hands smell like tuna melt and motor oil, a combo I’m pretty sure appeals to no one

My dog giving is- it-spring-yet energy

It's very strange being a morning person married to a night owl...

If you want me to differentiate my classroom, you need to differentiate teacher professional development - walk the walk.

Me: eats sugary food and crashes
Also me: I will eat more sugary food to recover
