My first kids at Fisher are now seniors. Every student has so much to teach me. They move on to high school, and hearing about all they accomplish is the best part of this career. ♥️😭💫

Dropped our sweet Bea off at Van Meter today! I cried the most out of the three of us! I love her so much it hurts ♥️

The line between getting students to take shooter drills seriously and not scaring them with reality is so thin and shaky. I struggle with it every year. Hold your kids tight.
We just heard screams inside the civic center. Yet another family hearing the worst news possible

One of my favorites this year played the national anthem before his baseball game! Love seeing my kids thrive in and out of the classroom 🌟

Just so the world knows what #teachers do to show our love for students ♥️ We made it through BTSN with puffy eyes, on the verge on emotional breakdowns, and with pain in our hearts. We show up bc there’s one of us, and 140 kids to love. #teacherlife #cancer #oliverforever

RIP to 2020 when I Zoomed between chemo sessions. Hey, we made it!
Put on make up for my first bald zoom with kids (can’t be scaring them too soon)! Day 1 is halfway done, and the Mercers haven’t cried yet! We can do this! #lgusd

🤔 I guess I’ll just leave this here.
We are so far down the slippery slope.
Why else would I get to school at this hour? Gotta get that important work done!

10/10 recommend: working with a superintendent who administers Covid tests after school. Surely not what he signed up for, but he’s all smiles! 🥳👏 #allhandsondeck #teamwork #lgusd @JohnsonP_LGUSD

@teachmath4life you’re welcome to come steal some! They can be prizes for teacher too!
If weird means amazing, then yes. Love seeing this kindness in the world. I cannot imagine teaching the littles during a pandemic. #sos

Would it be weird to email my sons grade one teacher and ask if she wants 20 or 30 N-95 masks?
