6th graders did an amazing job on their first art project last week. I was very proud of the work they did as well as their ability to participate in a class critique.

Kiddos are really into sharing their thoughts and feelings about different issues in the election. Also, the misinformation lesson was awesome!

I have had a lot of fun getting to know the kids in person and hanging out with them during the lunch breaks at MELS.

I'm struggling with feeling like I'm not doing a good job with my crew. I am sad that I feel so disconnected from them, but I also known that it is the nature of only seeing them every few days. It is hard to keep up that meaningful connection.

We did an "among us" themed fitness lesson today and kids went crazy. They learned about the fitness components under the guise of the "among us" imposters. Lots of laughing, shouting and excitement :)

Students having powerful debates over policies during expedition class.

I was drafting a science lesson and then saw it was very similar to the expedition lesson so I had to re-think a good portion of it.

I am getting frustrated with all the Pod changes and having a hard time keeping up with the attendance.

I don't see my Crew enough and am having a hard time connecting with them. Now we are moving into SLCs and there is even less time to build a Crew community.

Pete is growing into such an amazing dog. It has been wonderful to watch him grow up and see how loving he is becoming, how well he can play with other dogs. On Sunday we met some friends at the park and he played so well with their two year old, it melted my heart.

We are moving on Saturday!! So lots of stuff I'm thinking about outside of school that's got my mind going elsewhere. Will be madness for a week or so.

I am back in the library!!!!! I am sooooooooooooooo excited!

I have been struggling to write these IEP's that are on my caseload, specifically those due early in the school year. It's just very frustrating writing this document about this student we don't know much about. I'm trying my best but it's still annoying.

Teaching remotely without a co teacher has been a lot. Worried about student engagement and pulling my hair (ha!) to plan as creatively as I can. Struggle indeed.

My Zoom account has been messed up since the first day of school! If i have to call the Help Desk one more time... LOL

Watching students debate civily in expedition classes. Learning a lot myself about different issues and from students and colleagues while lesson planning!

I can't wait to see my students, they are so sweet and just make my day better. Also, all this hard work don't go without notice. Students and parents are very appreciative and supportive.

I am inspired by the enthusiasm and effort 6th graders make in art and expedition class. Even if things are happening in my personal life, I enjoy their bright vibrant personalities and contributions in class

There is so much rich discussion to be had in regards to the election and the results and I hope we can find ways to make students feel that their feelings/voices are heard.
