Started school more than two weeks ago and just getting these photos posted now. 😬 It’s been a whirlwind—new school, new state, new subject, new schedule, new students. Enjoying my students and grateful to be near family…and missing Kansas🌻
Wishing the very best school year to all!

Smithsonian removes Trump from impeachment exhibit in American History Museum
A temporary placard, on display since 2021, described the president's historic impeachments. Officials said the exhibit was restored to an earlier version following a review of legacy content.

Field trip to the Eisenhower farm where they retired and lived the rest of their lives at Gettysburg. It’s now a National Park Historic Site complete with Ike’s personal putting green.

So grateful that my cousin, who is a Gettysburg Battle guide, took me throughout the Battlefield and then up Little Round Top at sunset last night. I learned so much to add to Bayonets! to share with my students this year.

Just realized I have not been posting my books. I’m still reading…mostly audiobooks in my car, in my moving truck, whilst setting up my new classroom, on my workout, etc. Finished American Duchess about the fascinating life of Consuelo Vanderbilt & includes her mother Alva Belmont. #Bookish
