I’m not like most girls. Not belonging is my specialty.

Rarely do we make projects for Father’s Day, but we had time. #SpecialEducation #autism #highschoolspecialeducation #selfcontained #holidaycrafts #TeachersofBluesky

Saying goodbye to you 6 years ago was incredibly difficult, yet the memories we shared remain etched in my heart. I’m strangely grateful that Mother’s Day never held deep significance for us—because your passing on/about this now marks a quiet anniversary rather than deepening an already heavy loss.

Happy Mother’s Day to everyone!

Unfortunately, I know I don’t look friendly and approachable.

Meanwhile, my furry companions have their own reactions to the news. Oakley, ever the curious one, wants to be involved in everything as usual. Asher, on the other hand, has decided to play it cool by hiding behind my back on the couch. #Migraines #ChronicIllness #OakleyandAsher #Shelties

Being a good teacher is knowing when your students need to take a nap. Let tired students sleep, especially if you know why they might be tired. When you meet their basic needs, students will meet and/or exceed expectations. #TeachersofBlueSky #HighSchool #Education #EdSky #SpecialEd #selfcontained

Remember, not all colleagues will be allies. Not everyone shares your dedication to student learning or aligns with your educational philosophy. Motivations vary, and not all are driven by the same purpose. Steer clear of toxic environments and people #toxicworkenvironments #TeachersofBlueSky #EdSky

This year’s Christmas tree, borrowed from my son’s room, was meant for him and his girlfriend but now sits in our living room. December has been overwhelming and traumatic, leaving no energy for the big tree. A simple solution for a season that’s been anything but simple.

When you love cats, there really is so many creative ways to include them in everything. I think I might make my #cats a holiday tree full of mice just like this one. #CatsofBlueSky

Took my son to a local cat rescue to socialize with the kitties. That’s a feel good way to spend a Saturday afternoon. #catrescue #adoption #cats #LIDATomsRiverNJ
