I am so lucky to be connected with Jennifer Williams through our mutual pal, Sean Gaillard. Because of my America Achieves fellow fellow, Sharon Davison, and Jen, I learned about the UN Sustainable Development Goals, the TeachSDGs movement and the Global Goals Project. After a little marinating time, this Fall was the perfect time to …
Here, belatedly, is Zack's progress report from the Spring semester at UNR. He enjoyed working with Alyssa and Sam and is already 1/2 way through the summer session. A recent milestone is that Zack rented a car and got a parking permit (for our apartment complex) for the rental by himself. (The van is at …
Back in early September, I was thrilled to find out that I'd been accepted into Cohort 1 of the Empathy Project Fellowship. I loved being a part of the America Achieves National Teacher Fellowship in 2014-2016 and felt so honored to join this new fellowship. One great part of joining the Participate's Empathy Project Fellowship …
For kindness! Kindergarteners help with our school food drive by labeling collection boxes and delivering them. Yesterday our 4th grade buddies helped us illustrate our lines in the kindness song. (The students told me how they are kind kindergarteners and I inserted them into a simple song.) Having props helped us to sing more clearly …
Although I didn't think this was the case, it turns I am ready for Fall Break next week! My mom parents are coming out for a western tour of their children (brother in Alpine, WY & sister in Boise) and Zack and I are going to take them down to Mono Lake and Yosemite for …
The kindergarteners commemorated today's International Day of Peace by making these pinwheels in art. They adorn some of our houseplants and look wonderful.
Despite my endorphin filled post about speedwork on Tuesday, I am not the speed demon I might have once almost not nearly been. And this was proven in the red and black of the timing clock on Saturday as I tried (I mean, I did actually run) to run one mile as fast as I …
I had growth mindset and the Power of Yet (phrase borrowed from classdojo) in mind for tonight's post but then we were treated to this and I think that's enough. A beautiful, clear rainbow 🌈 to end the day. 😊
It's like trail running but somehow better! I thought hiking was too slow for many years. The years I was trying to become a better trail runner! This summer I've tried to really embrace my days hiking with Zack and they've been great! I mean, look at these views! We left Reno at 7:09 (9 …
This summer I really noticed, maybe for the first time, how much longer the days are. I would wake up in the daylight, exercise and then walk Molly all in the daylight. And it would be quite a stretch for me to give Molly her bedtime walk in the dark. It's only late August now …
