As we get ready for sukkot, I’m grateful for the time with A as we celebrate the chaggim together. And for nature for providing us with the mini pumpkins for our front yard from the ones that decomposed last year. וְשָׂמַחְתָּ בְּחַגֶּךָ וְהָיִיתָ אַךְ שָׂמֵחַ

For some reason, my students did not find my Family Feud of beakers vs flasks nearly as entertaining as I do. 🤷🏻♀️ Some, at least, appreciated my enthusiasm #iteachchem

PAEMST represents less than .000001% of national budget. Its demise will save American citizens about 1 penny each.“NSF remains committed to supporting the nation’s STEM teachers.” The question is: How will they show it?

40-year program honoring America's best STEM teachers paused. 4,000+ past winners wonder: Why eliminate $10K award that costs 1¢ per citizen & addresses teacher shortage?

Stand Back; I’m going to try science. The 1st official #nerdytshirtfriday of the 2025-2026 schools year. Definitely not the transition to school that I would have expected/wanted for my 25th year in the classroom, but here we go.

One of these years I’ll be able to sleep before the first day of school. This was not one of those years.

How did my child tell my ex-husband that my engagement was broken off? That he (ex-husband)didn’t have to worry about getting new health insurance because I still cover him

You know you’re a chem teacher when… You have a collection of @FlinnScientific safety posters in your classroom. And yes, I still have Carol. #IYKYK #iteachchem

Those of you who were at #TheMole at @ChemEd2025 heard me talk about the group I went to Morocco with: well, when they heard life through me an unexpected plot twist & I was so so sad, they sent me this. This is what I mean by they became family after less than 2 weeks

While I prefer plot twists in books to those in my own life, the only thing to do is read on and see what happens next.

Sometimes (maybe too frequently) life sends you reeling. Really grateful for some amazing friends in my life.

At some point during #ChemEd2025, someone asked me about whiteboard stands. These are the ones that were made for me. Hope this helps. #ITeachChem🥽 #EduSky🍎 #ModChem
