It's strange to be in the midst of my first back to school season not in a classroom since 1990. Happy 1st day of school to many of my MN teacher friends 👩‍🏫 I hope you have a magical first day with your students. You've got this!

I LOVED my digital planner. I could set up and color-code my schedule for the entire school year all at once and could access it from home and school. I even shared my digital planner with my teacher partner so that they had access if they ever needed it. It was the BEST 🙌🏻
How do you stay organized during #backtoschool? RETWEET for a digital planner, LIKE for a paper planner. ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️

I loved working with the teachers from @KISDKellerU this morning to talk about how to engage students in content on @Newsela! #KellerU

My FAVORITE salad is back on the menu at @YumKitchen so the only logical thing to do was to order a family size and enjoy it all week long 🤤🥗🥳#BirthdayWeek

Was the date night salad so good the first time that I bought it again for this week? Yep. 🤩
Loved this surprise package! Definitely feeling the love from my #NewselaFamily and can’t wait to celebrate next week 🥳 Thank you, @Newsela 💙

A5: I won't be traveling to see family this year over break, so I'll use that time to binge watch holiday movies, read the books that are piling up on my shelf, and enjoy the break #2PencilChat

A4: One of my dear friends meets me for happy hour once a month. During HH we put the next one on the calendar. It's helping us both stay connected and feeling supported #2PencilChat

A1: As of two months ago I am no longer in the classroom which is a pretty strange feeling. Definitely the right move and I LOVE my new position, but it's a big change in the midst of so much other change #2PencilChat
