(I started this on Christmas Eve, as I waited for Reno Diagnostics Center to release Zack's mri records to me despite being unauthorized just an hour earlier.) I must say, I've held it together remarkably well this past week and a half. After missing about a half week of kindergarten for a flu I've named …

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. 😊
Thanks to my friend Vicky for getting us out there... On the Reno High track. Speed workouts are terrible, they hurt, I feel like I can't breathe but they're also super satisfying. Things that are hard are with doing. I introduced the writing station today and worked to help my students see that they can …
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 …
Tonight is the last night of Spring Break and I'm happily typing in a not clean house but with lots of veggies prepped in the fridge, a week of kindergarten planned and ready to go and of course, a small snowstorm on the horizon. Spring hasn't really sprung yet in Tahoe, which made last week …
It's Week 2 for the #dcsdblogs challenge! This week's prompt is: What is the best thing you've ever learned from another teacher? Everything I know now I learned from other teachers. Teachers I grew up with, teachers I took classes from, teachers I learn from on Twitter and Voxer, teachers' pictures I see on Instagram …
Friday was our last day of Aphasia U Boot Camp. I don't think I posted about this before but on the first night, Derrick's wife and sister came to talk about the website they've started in Derrick's memory. https://www.strokestrong.org/ To help raise awareness of aphasia, they are making each participant with aphasia their own cards …
This morning I woke up to this: I'm equally dreading and looking forward to meeting other caregivers of people with aphasia next month in Las Vegas. But the part of me that's looking forward to it wonders if they celebrate all the little things. Like the other day, I heard Zack say my name for …
Something has been brewing for a bit now and among other solutions, it seems like I should write about it. I'm honestly not sure how it started. The election? The rhetoric? My ongoing journey teaching at a private school this year? (I taught at a Title I school in Reno from 2010-2015.) Regardless, there was quite …
The Bear Scratch is a ski line that is not often skiable. It takes a LOT of lake level snow for this to be in consideration and just the right storm to get people excited about it. Snowpocalypse 2017 was that storm! Even though I didn't have school and Zack didn't have speech in Reno …
