My 4th graders have been diving into the world of wetlands. This week they chose a type of wetland to recreate, using food items to represent the unique plants and animals of their ecosystem. It was a hands-on challenge that sparked imagination, critical thinking, and a whole lot of fun.

It’s #clearthelist time! That magical time of year when educators beg friends, family, and total strangers to help them supply their classrooms. So, if you have a few bucks to spare, I’m headed back for year 26 and would love anything you give. 💜 www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

We can’t spend all day inside - time to plant our pollinator garden. 🪴 🦋🐝

Receiving a framed copy of my article from EdTech Magazine was an incredible and unexpected surprise. It’s such a meaningful gesture that left me truly touched! Thank you to Taashi Rowe and EdTech Magazine for the opportunity to express my views on STEM and for this thoughtful gift. #EdTech #STEM

Today I met with some of my GirlsWhoCode members, fellow sponsors, and parents to watch Rule Breakers - an incredible movie about the Afghan Girls Robotics Team’s their struggles and successes. We were joined by a homeschool robotics group and tickets were courtesy of Availity and She Can Code It.

Spring has sprung in Florida! 🌸🌱 Time to roll up our sleeves and prepare our garden beds. Excited to nurture new life and watch our garden grow. Let's get planting! 🌿🌼 #SpringInFlorida #GardeningSeason

I'm locked out of X so guess I'll be here more often. 🤷🏻‍♀️ It was a great week! 10k step club, round 1 ended. I placed 3rd out of 12. Just started round 2 today and we have 16 members now. I'm already at 12k and trying to decide if another walk is worth it to have the highest score today. 🤔

5th grade had an exciting visit to the DCPS Minecraft lab. We started with a bit of free building, then, we dove into a math session to enhance our understanding of area and volume, tackling problems and creating our own models. We finished with a group build challenge to design a treehouse.

Today in 3rd grade, students followed a recipe for fruit salad to learn about equivalent fractions. A delicious and fun success!

This cloud looked like a vertebrae today.

My boy is home and today is his 20th birthday. 🎉🥳🎂

Last night felt like a whirlwind dream. Being honored as one of the Top 5 Teachers of the Year for the 20th largest school district in the United States is an exhilarating milestone in my career.

Gifted students aren’t a rarity—they’re in every classroom. Yet most teachers receive zero training in how to support them. Today's pod explores a recent @NAGCGIFTED report on how universal prep in #GiftedEducation can uplift all learners. #gtchat #edusky open.spotify.com/episode/1Foc...

Is there a starter pack for elementary STEM? Or STEM in general?

I am beyond thrilled to be recognized as one of the top 15 Teachers of the Year in Duval County Public Schools! 🎉 The 15 semifinalists for the 2025 VyStar Duval County Teacher of the Year were selected from nearly 180 school-level Teachers of the Year.

Just got a LinkedIn notification celebrating my two year anniversary with @i2eEDU! 🎉 Time flies! I’m genuinely grateful to work with such an amazing team and look forward to many more years of growth and success. 🌟 No idea how to tag everyone here so feel free to help me if you know. 😂

Look at these cute "trash to treasure" turkeys.🦃 Some are even in disguise 🥸 so the farmer 🧑‍🌾 can't find them before Thanksgiving dinner. 🍽️

Had dinner with my 16yo daughter tonight. Discussed world religions. Loved it so much. I didn't discover other religions until college. I love that she is already having these conversations.

This means so much to me. Today, when my Girls Who Code club ended, a 3rd grader (whom I have been teaching to code since she was in Kindergarten) ran up to me to give me this bag. She said her Mom got two of them and she wanted to give one to me. 🥰

My youngest has to complete an hour of math online each week. He purposefully misses questions so it will take longer on each assignment. I'm not sure if this is genius or diabolical. Or both.

While I haven't deactivated anything else yet, I'm here and happy to engage with my educational friends. 💜
