Reflecting on a great week, celebrating Pi! Special shout-out to “James MATHison”, “Thomas JefferSINE”, “George PIington” & “ALGEBrander HamilTANGENT” on their performance. Middle School is my favorite…and so is Pi Day 😍

Sad to be saying goodbye to a classmate before a family move, but happy to celebrate him with a (origami) ballon party! A good reminder that relationships are what it’s all about! 💙💛🐝🎈

In HS, I had a math teacher that inspired me to become one. He was fun, explained math clearly & built connections. I ended up babysitting his 4 daughters. 20 years later, I teach in a classroom next to one & another came to speak. ❤️ special moments that make the 🌎 feel small!

Holy moly! What an honor! The shift from thinking you’re getting observed by a 15-person admin team to realizing you’re receiving an award was marvelous, but the bigger boost was hearing the kind words that were shared. Thank you! Grateful to have my dream job with a dream team!

Pi Day never disappoints! Creativity at its finest! We had pictures, poems, songs, jewelry and LOTS of yummy food! So grateful to get to celebrate with current students while reminiscing with previous ones. A great reminder that middle schoolers and math are just the best! #yum

Since I couldn’t be there to participate in person, I made sure to bring my own cheer squad along on family vacation:) Pi’s dimensions are a little off but I got the distance correct😉 Wishing Saline XC a great season! 🐝 #salinesummerfest5k2021

Sometimes a normal day turns extraordinary! Today the coolest piece of furniture EVER got delivered by a talented woodworker and mathematician! Such a special surprise and it was immediately adorned w/ pi paraphernalia. You can find me here gazing at it for the next few decades!

So happy to be celebrating Pythagorean Theorem Day: 12-16-20! Great way to combine 2 of my favorite things...math & cheese 😉! And thank you to a punny-parent for suggesting it be called a “Reik-triangle” at conferences... #iagree

Need to work on tighter turns, but it was this or the pi symbol. And that would have required me to run an extra 3-hundredths of a mile 😉! And don’t be fooled...only one of us completed the run! Happy to support @SalineArea and all their good work! #salinesummerfest5k2020

Not the feelings I wanted when physically closing the door on the classroom for the last time this year ☹️, but started tearing up from reading the responses on the “Memories Form”. Keep em coming! Can’t wait to share w students next week! Do you remember your 1st day motion?! 😉

Things I’ve overshared in Zooms: *I haven’t worn pants w/ a zipper since 3/13 *NeighborS have commented on my dance moves while mowing (commented, NOT complimented) *I’ve been talking to Lulu a LOT Students, you created a culture where I am free to share openly, it means a lot 🤦‍♀️

People will ask why I teach 8th grade, and my answer is “because it’s the best”! This year’s class is so special. So many memories from our “off topic” conversations (apparently a specialty of mine...students, you know this well 😉). Like spontaneous kazoo sing-alongs! #SMS8th

4th hour: the number of funny phrases and special voices we used commonly probably sounded like a different language to others, but it made perfect sense to us!

5th hour: when you “moved seats” to fit 15 people at a table during work time, I’m not sure it was super productive, but it was super fun!

Lulu is REALLY hoping that isolation can end soon... (disclaimer: many treats were involved in the making of this “photo shoot” 🦴) #GoBlue #StaySafe #MorningCoffee #SMSpets
