An EXCITING day at @trinityschool. Last day before our traditional Christmas program at Trinity Presbyterian Church and the start of Winter holidays tomorrow! Teachers were snazzed up in sweaters, coats, sweatshirts, and even costumes. From the youngest Early Learner to the most seasoned veterans among us, we are ALL ready for some time off. #trinitylearns #ilovemyschool #ilovemyteam #lookatthatcoat https://www.instagram.com/p/B6O3Lt4JtWM/?igshid=f198gnkgfgyd

Queens of 5th Grade. I suppose I should say, Award-Winning Queens of 5th Grade. I love my school, my team, and Halloween. I’m not such a fan of the tank top undershirt, though. #trinitylearns #Halloween2022 #teacherlife #Queen (at Trinity School) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkZLI0pOIkk/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I got to spend one last day with my students at school today and I was lucky enough to get to do that in Mrs Maas’ science class! The students extracted DNA from strawberries!!! What a COOL lesson! #teamb #trinitylearns #sciencematters (at Trinity School) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cd7Ftomukob/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Look at this playground!!!! The tree alone is enough to make me jealous of the kids that get to play here, but just look at the rest of it!!! #trinitylearns #cherishchildhood #play (at Trinity School) https://www.instagram.com/p/CcEdz4Pu82t/?utm_medium=tumblr

This is me being SO SO SO HAPPY!!! At the very wise, separate counsel of Anna and another friend, I went to surprise my class today after dropping off my artwork for Spotlight on Art (more on that soon). Kelsey & I were already planning on surprising them but we thought I’d start out in a Google Meet video call then come in the room, but the second, and I mean the SECOND I was in the screen a bunch of them shouted, “YOU’RE IN THE BUILDING!!!!!” Lots of hugs, some tears from me, and a good 30+ minutes hanging out talking. They asked me some really great questions about what’s happening, what my prognosis is, and more. They are such a smart class! I’ve been checking in w/ them weekly and doing a read-aloud either by video or live Meet, but this was our first face-to-face since early December! After spending time w/ them, I ate lunch with my beloved 5th grade team then worked my way around this special, special place to visit (carefully!) the people that I have been missing so much. So many hugs and quite a few tears. I was not prepared for how emotionally overwhelming this day was and how much I really needed it. “Just listen to Anna” really does pay off in my life and I so appreciate her encouragement to me to get over and visit. My heart and soul are filled, and my batteries are recharged to 1000%. I compared it to when Thor shocks Iron Man with lightning in the first Avengers movie and his power levels shoot way up! #trinitylearns #teamb #keepmovingforward #beatcancer #love #happiness #listentoyourwife (at Trinity School) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZN0OLTO6wT/?utm_medium=tumblr

Here we go! Year 27! By the way, yesterday was just visitation. I met my students, but today is my first day with them. Great start so far! #trinitylearns #TeamB #backtoschool (at Trinity School) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSekZQQLgvC/?utm_medium=tumblr
