Our Girls STEAM Team is busy working on their replica global monuments to get ready for STEM Night in a few weeks!
Rather than simply presenting their builds to families, they’ve developed STEM challenges to accompany their work in order to engage their visitors!

Balancing teaching, podcasting, presenting, and writing isn’t easy—but the classroom will always be my first love.
Every day, I see the power of education firsthand, and that’s why I share these stories beyond my four walls.

We took Math into the halls today!
Students answered each other’s word problems using properties of right triangles. 📐
Great chance to determine what makes a rich math task, and then provide feedback and assess each other’s work. 📋📒✏️

We learned so much about her journey as a tradesperson & she taught us some cool things about electricity ⚡️
The students had no idea how intense the learning was for a trades program!

More 2025 posters! 👇🏽
I’m in awe of their creativity.
Funny anecdote: When explaining the task to students, I gave an optional example of using a tree 🌳 as an image for factor trees. All groups but one used trees in their imagery 😆
“It was a good idea,” remarked one kid 🤷🏽♀️

More than halfway thru:
Pros:
- beautiful writing
- past & present interwoven seamlessly
- depth in character development
What I wish:

- wonderful window but can’t relate, yet.
