Great day in costume today! 5th grade AE math students finish 3D volume projects while 4th grade used @blooketofficial.bsky.social to review previously learned concepts. In reading, both AE grade levels used @bookcreator.com to write & read Halloween-themed books using vocabulary. #EduSky #EduSkyIL

What a great evening listening to @alangratz.bsky.social speak about his books. We use Refugee each year in class, and my students love his books. His latest book, War Games, is another brilliantly told story. #EduSky #EduSkyIL

This was a great way to start the school week--author visit from @lindsayncurrie.bsky.social. Students loved it! And her new book, X Marks the Haunt, is fantastic! #EduSky #EduSkyIL

Wrapping up another great week of 4th grade reading. Today, students used context clues, roots, and affixes to solve the locks and @breakoutedu.com. #EduSky #EduSkyIL

One Wrong Step by Jennifer A. Nielsen is a story of survival, family, & forgiveness. Love, loss, & letting go. When an avalanche cuts off communication between 12-yr-old Atlas and his father’s expedition, he and Maddie, a 12-year-old American, risk attempting the summit. TY @netgalley.bsky.social.

Busted by Dan Gemeinhart is a rollercoaster ride of laughs, action, & crime! 12-yr-old Oscar & his grandfather face eviction from Sunny Days Retirement Home. Jimmy Deluca, a former mobster offers to help, i.e. bust him out in exchange for cash. How far will they get, though, before they're Busted?

I am halfway through Busted, a new novel by Dan Gemeinhart, and I am absolutely loving it! Thank you @netgalley.bsky.social and Jordin Streeter, at McMillan Children's Publishing Group. This is a fantastic MG read! This is such a great teacher read aloud! #EduSky #EduSkyIL

Thank you to all who sacrificed so much in the labor movement so that we have the rights and benefits we have now.

5th grade AE math students estimate/count the number of blades of grass on the school's soccer field.

AE math students find out what they have in common, write it down, and use those note cards to build the tallest structure possible. So many lively discussions and clever building ideas. Great start to the school year!
August 28, 2025 at 1:25 AM
First day with students, and they collaborated to solve the @breakoutedu.com in order to access the seating chart I "accidentally" locked inside. Great start to the school year!

The school year may begin in a couple of weeks, but I am determined to enjoy as much of the summer as possible. Shabbona Lake State Park. Not very #EduSky at the moment.

I could have cut my grass today when the temps were 75 degrees, but nope, not me. I cut it on Tuesday when the heat index was 104 degrees.

Wrapping up the school year, and now it's time for a little camping to relax and unwind. Wishing all teachers some much needed downtime with family, friends, and pets. #EduSky #EduSkyIL

And that is a wrap on my 18th year of teaching. So many great memories of students collaborating, laughing, and learning. To my 5th grade AE students, I wish you well in middle school. And to my 4th grade AE students, next year will be even better.
