Welcome to Litsy!

And that‘s a wrap on my school year… it was long yet fast, easy yet hard… looking forward to recharging over summer!! #teachersoflitsy

I finished this short read yesterday evening with supper. I used a few Kindle credits to purchase it thinking it might have some useful ideas for working some of my struggling math students. However, it was fairly basic and, although possibly helpful to a new teacher, did not contain any new strategies for me.

Just finished Act 3 today; on to Act 4 tomorrow. Using this with my co-taught class so we can expose them to the real language but provide a “modern” version. Even that is challenging with its vocabulary, etc. They are enjoying it though. It‘s a pilot for freshman- we have always read Romeo & Juliet. #12schooldaystillexams #17daystillgraduation #teachersoflitsy

Am I obsessed with dark academia? Yes.

Yesterday was my last day of school, so I started this book last night and am having a bit of a lazy morning reading more of it with breakfast. That single strawberry is one of the first to ripen in my little patch. I‘m thoroughly intrigued by this book so far and am curious if see where it goes.

There is no tired like field trip tired!! Had a blast with my students on the low ropes course at a local university!! #teachersoflitsy

This is what happens when your students find out your aversion to a certain word… #teachersoflitsy

Last week of school starts tomorrow! I began Grapes of Wrath with my Honors 11 class to prep for AP next year. We will get through the first third to start their summer reading. Honestly, I‘m loving it. It is probably sacrilege to admit for an English teacher but I haven‘t read it before.

Even though the past few years have been really hard as a teacher, I still love what I do and it is students like the one who gave me this gift for teacher appreciation week that make it all worth it! I love that my students know me and they allow me to get to know them not just as learners but as people! #teachersoflitsy

What do you do when you have a a student who loves d&d and excitedly asks if you want to read a d&d book?? You read a d&d book! #teachersoflitsy
