A lovely Jar of Kindness from students—now resting right under my monitor as a much-needed reminder of why I chose this profession. #RoyalFamily
Looks like it’s time to start the next level of my #IB teacher journey, @RoyalHSIB—I was fortunate to be selected as one of the IB Lit examiners! Yet more proof of how strong our amazing program has become, @TheRoyalHS. :)
Every year I teach this novel, I get a special bookmark surprise, right @carlytrann56? 💚💛
“The greatest compliment that was ever paid me was when one asked me what I thought, and attended to my answer.” Happy birthday, Thoreau; you’ve influenced my life and how I approach my profession beyond measure! #HenryDavidThoreau
Well, this removes one field trip some of my students have bugged me to go on, @RoyalHSIB! Into The Wild bus removed from Alaska over safety concerns teapawt.net/i/events/1273931161387…
One plus to distance learning? An excuse to use Legos to film my video review of Acts 1-3 for IB HL1. Here’s the cast. @RoyalHSIB #LEGO
Celebrating National Crayon Day with @RoyalHSIB! 😊💚💛 Seeing the artwork students have added to our shared slideshow is at least helping me feel a little closer to them in this time of distance learning.
Farewell to one of the greatest musicians, lyricists, and writers who inspired me to live closer to the heart.
Bannack, Montana. An 1860s ghost town schoolhouse that has me vowing to better appreciate the HVAC in my classroom!
And yeah, we’re not afraid to use it. #searchandrescue
Honored to pass on the Bowl Me Over award this morning to my cross-curricular counterpart, @teachERfurlong!
Just started this novel with HL1, and guess what slipped out when I opened it? @carlytrann56, when did you make yourself my bookmark? I guess she’s still visiting us, @kari_lev.
Thanks to @kari_lev for honoring me by handing over the “Bowl Me Over” award. One of the best professional and personal decisions I’ve made was to join you in teaching #IB Lit! @RoyalHSIB @TheRoyalHS
Celebrating National Play Doh Day in IB Lit on 9/16! We created clay symbols from _The Great Gatsby_, found quotes and supporting evidence, and were “modeling” higher level thinking! :) @RoyalHSIB @TheRoyalHS
Missing my former #IB students—this is one of the many reasons why! @RoyalHSIB, we are quite the family. 😊
It’s not every #IB teacher who gets lucky enough to be Number 1! Honored to be chosen to wear this jersey at tonight’s game. @TheRoyalHS @RoyalHSIB
When at least a dozen students in your #IB Literature class are siblings of former amazing kids, it’s even more proof that we are a family! 💚💛@RoyalHSIB @kari_lev #SimiSchoolsFirstDay2019
Putting life in perspective the days before the new school year starts. Thoreau may have said it best: “Heaven is under our feet as well as over our heads.”
I’m able to experience and discuss all of these amazing works next year with the new #IB HL1 curriculum . . . life is good, @RoyalHSIB @TheRoyalHS! :)
