Earlier this week, I was asked what my long term career goals are - I answered honestly - I have no clue. For the first time in a long time, I am generally happy in my profession. I think sometimes society gets so caught up in what comes next that we forget to enjoy the now.

Biology @JhsJags teachers have Holiday Spirit in our DNA 🧬! @LWiseBIO @sciencyfletcher @KPClemons25 @mskiralowery @ReneeGo94868705

Huge thank you to @LWiseBIO & @MiniOneSystem for invaluable PD. I had an absolute blast today refreshing micro-pipetting skills & using gel electrophoresis! These are the kind of labs that make @JhsJags the BEST!

Excited to have been nominated for the @HoldsworthCentr Educator Retreat! Either someone thinks I am very special or very stressed out! Either way, I am grateful someone was thinking of me. ❤️

I learned the coolest thing today by walking by Coach Fambroughs class. (Luckily @LWiseBIO knew he used ppt) You can actually live audio subtitle your lessons in a different language using Office365 Powerpoint! @JhsJags are seriously the best!

One thing about me is that I volunteer to do things like pick up and maintain starters for Biology class cultures. My classroom always stinks but its a happy sacrifice to get students into science. @JhsJags Biology is locked and loaded for 23-24! #biababy

Huge thank you to Johnson PTA for breakfast this morning! This teacher sure feel’s appreciated. 🥰

This might look like a normal Biology class but it’s a full house at voluntary after school STAAR Tutoring! So proud of these Johnson students who are #BIA @LWiseBIO @JhsJags

The best part of my day has been when a lesson on evidence for evolution turns into an improptu field dig for local fossils. #biababy @JhsJags

My students were amazing today and someone sent me a gift from my amazon list! #BestYearEver

On the first Monday of December, my admin gave to mee, an ugly sweater paaaarty. ⁦@JhsJags⁩

Quizlet live had my class 💯 engaged in 4th today. Thanks @LWiseBIO for the inspiration in PLC today!

What a wonderful surprise to a Monday morning! ❤️ #hayshighfive

One of my favorite things about @JhsJags is morning sunrises. I truly have the best view in the whole school. ❤️ one thing, we don’t talk about as educators enough is how the physical space has so much impact on mental mindsets. #BlessedAndGrateful

While this might have been my face when Jen & @LWiseBIO walked into my finally quiet and *testing* class with snacks, I am eternally grateful for the sweet treat!

Today - Advisory’s #WINstatements are top-notch! I had to break out the BIG sticky notes for these BIG ideas. #winningthementalgame

No one peprallys like a @JhsJags pep rally! #BIA

When asked how can you bring your A game to Biology class, this student listed attention & growth mindset. DAY 1 & this kid gets it. #winningmindset at @JhsJags

Am I the only teacher who gets really really excited for the students’ 1st Day? It’s like Christmas Eve over at my house. I’m way too excited to sleep. #teacherprobs #firstdayofschool #hayscisd.
