It’s that time of yearrrrrrrrrrr

forgot to tell y'all i have a pretty sweet behind-the-scenes photography gig this week 📷

Thank you!!!!

As always, my goal for this next trip around the sun is to seek joy. I also want to love big and not be so scared to tell the people I love how much I love them. So, I love you. Thanks for reading this, and thanks for being part of the village raising me.

39. In typical fashion, I spent the morning working early and filming. I figured I’d take a second to document how I feel today, at 39. Grateful. Empowered. Invigorated. Peaceful. Soft— but not like weakness, like the ability to protect my peace so I can focus on the people and things I love.

*takes a sip of cold coffee* you’re probably wondering how I got here

A teaching tool that can foster engagement, build new connections, and grow classroom community: an assigned seating chart! 🪑 @biblio-phile.bsky.social shares a few things to think about as you’re creating a new seating chart, so your classroom supports students’ learning *and* your teaching.

And just a reminder that I am always open to new opportunities! In addition to teaching, I write, edit, create content, and consult. Hit me up!

Libra Season is almost here! As we speed toward my 39th (!) birthday, I am focused on spending my time and energy on the things and people I love, protecting my peace whenever I can, and seeking joy as much as possible!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

It was such an honor to be interviewed about The Bard in the Borderlands for the Shakespeare Unlimited podcast. I hope you'll give it a listen!

Thank you!

So cool and deserved!

Other teachers just get it. @mirplo.bsky.social explains how having a thought partner—and someone to cover your room for bathroom breaks—is a huge benefit for new teachers. 🤝
