My parents have been married for 59 years. I am grateful for their enduring commitment to eachother and all people - particularly my people.

My mother would remind you to wear your sunglasses, except she isn’t wearing hers in this picture. And eat lunch outside… which you should!!

It was a good day in Room 206 - in spite of the reptile. While some students reported that I should not be afraid, Layla appreciated my fear.

We also worked hard on the project. As usual, kids helped eachother and everyone had good ideas.

We ate pizza in Advisory with Coke because Eyoab asked. ♥️

A weird but fun virtual school day. Kids showed up to introduce their pets, do math, tell jokes and share concerns about the messed up world in which we live.

Make space to think and be together.. no matter the platform..

It was the day in Pathfinder Math when we measure our walking rate so that we can do a project on equivalent ratios.. Stay tuned! @slamsphilly.bsky.social

We voted. And put the garden to bed for the season. Acts of resistance and all….

There was a moment yesterday when I thought to myself, “no one is gonna finish this project.”
But today, Pathfinders showed up to work and help each other.. So good!
My advisory is also helping me get better at my friendship bracelets, so all in all, it was a perfect day @slamsphilly.bsky.social

We had a pretty epic afternoon with the SLA-MS Racket Sports Club..
Kids worked hard to get better at a thing, we had a dedicated photographer and lots of sunshine and fun.
I’m grateful to our 3 founders for asking me to be the faculty advisor for this incredibly fun group of people!

The inaugural meeting of the @slamsphilly.bsky.social Racket Sports Club was a hit! Thanks to our founders who worked hard for weeks to plan the fun! Already looking forward to next week! 🎾

I also grew my first ever pumpkin, so I’m super proud of that.

Today in Advisory, we taught eachother how to make friendship bracelets. It was both hard and fun.
I like it when kids can display their non-academic talents, help eachother and persist with trying something different.
I still have lots of floss.. so we hope to get better over time!
