Take it slow. My dad will laugh when he sees this post. I have written about my experience growing up with a chronic illness on this blog before. I can't remember if my dad started telling me to take it slow before or after my diagnosis. But it was a predictable part of every day … Continue reading Take It Slow – #BLOG365 Day 229

At the End of the School Year, Don’t Forget to Reflect- #BLOG365 Day 228
I have been thinking about how we end the school year. Not for our students, but how we, as educators, end the school year. I know that in the craze of the last few weeks of school we can often lose focus, fail to reflect, move in a zombie-like state day after day. It's … Continue reading At the End of the School Year, Don’t Forget to Reflect- #BLOG365 Day 228
Museum Monday on a Wednesday – #BLOG365 Day 227
On Monday I had the opportunity to go to the Alamo. It was a fabulous experience, one I never thought I would have. It was a chance to connect my understanding of Florida history with Texas history and, most importantly, a chance to check out new exhibitions and objects. In 2010 I traveled to … Continue reading Museum Monday on a Wednesday – #BLOG365 Day 227
Still Behind… – #BLOG365 Day 226
Yesterday one of my fellow #BLOG365 buddies reminded us that we only have 100 more days in our blogging journey. Sadly, I am still behind and more than 100 posts left in my journey. Instead of beating myself up about getting behind, I chose to focus on how I am ahead of where I was … Continue reading Still Behind… – #BLOG365 Day 226
Cultivating: Summer Edition- #BLOG365 Day 225
Over the last few days I have been considering the frantic pace of life. When my son was young our lives seemed less hurried, our days a bit more relaxed. We had time for individual passions, family adventures, TV show binge watching. Now that I have a middle schooler life is a whirlwind of … Continue reading Cultivating: Summer Edition- #BLOG365 Day 225
Museum Monday: Categorizing and Classifying With Museum Objects – #BLOG365 Day 224 #sschat #museumed
I've had a lot of down time lately, on planes and in airports, so I have been able to review and organize a lot of content from my museum school days. Today I found an activity I used to do with students that I had completely forgotten about. In introducing museums to our students … Continue reading Museum Monday: Categorizing and Classifying With Museum Objects – #BLOG365 Day 224 #sschat #museumed
In a Rut – #BLOG365 Day 223
I am definitely in a rut when it comes to blog posts. Travel, May madness, family celebrations, preparing for an overseas trip, and end of the school year chaos have left me with little inspiration. I missed a few days and now it is hard to get back on the blogging wagon. I … Continue reading In a Rut – #BLOG365 Day 223
Dear Final Exams – #BLOG365 Day 222
Final exams, you are not making us happy right now. Your schedule, your content, and your purpose leave a lot to be desired. Those countless pages of vocabulary words that must be memorized out of context. The grammar rules. Five paragraph essays. Pages of facts to be regurgitated. Final exams, you are scarier than The … Continue reading Dear Final Exams – #BLOG365 Day 222
APB: One Black Bullet Journal Lost – #BLOG365 Day 221
Somewhere between travel and National Boards my bullet journal went missing. I am feeling a bit incomplete. I have essentially lost the last 8 months of my work life in that journal, all my notes and plans, blog ideas and contact information. Pretty soon I may have to say a prayer to Saint Anthony (the … Continue reading APB: One Black Bullet Journal Lost – #BLOG365 Day 221
National Boards: Done and Done- #BLOG365 Day 220 #nbctstrong @nbpts
Today I am submitting my National Board renewal. I have been checking in on the processing of my final entry on and off all day. It's taking forever so I assume it's a bit clogged up with submissions. As soon as it is processed I am going to hit submit. Done and done! A … Continue reading National Boards: Done and Done- #BLOG365 Day 220 #nbctstrong @nbpts
