89 - 93 And the Rollercoaster Continues...

 Day 89:

When you greet your students and find a twin!

So the Rams are one step closer to a Super Bowl!

I was a huge Vikings fan as a child.

Then I stopped watching football.

When the Rams came to build a playground 2 years ago,

I became a fan again.

The pandemic made me a huge fan (basketball too).

Too emotionally invested in my teams,

but it's all good.

Day 90: 

Some days are like rollercoasters.

You have incredible moments like hanging out with other Milken Educators after school,

sharing teacher stories,

and remembering why you became a teacher,

and why you will remain a teacher,

even in challenging times.

My reason: it's always about the students.

I shared how wonderful it was for former students

to read to current students

on zoom

during a pandemic.

and the art work

that brings me joy 

everyday

when I see it on my wall.

But then you go home

and try to be a parent

to a teen

that may not like you

because you took off a door...

Day 91:

Hopefully, we will go on 3 field trips this year.

Each field trip requires our students to follow covid protocols.

He doesn't keep his mask on.

I want him to feel the ocean water.

I want him to see amazing vehicles.

I want him to experience the beauty of nature.

Today,

he started to wear his mask.

Sometimes,

small things make me extremely happy.

This

made me happy.

Day 92: 

Sometimes,

when they don't follow your directions,

they come up with something even better.

Task: Create a building.

He had other ideas.

Day 93:

I love My Big World.

It's informational text for preschoolers.

Today, we learned about penguins.

And it was my little sister's birthday too.
