All of my classes audibly laughed at today's meme of the day and that made my day. "When the teacher says it's a 3 question quiz but every question has multiple parts."

There are a lot of different sums out there like sum of squares, partial sums, and infinite sums, but my favorite type of sum is dim sum.

An update a year later: I bought a house, became single, and started my dream job. Life is good. I manifested my own happiness (and still continuing to!)

Finally fulfilling my dream of staying at a chic cozy tiny home (rental) in Joshua Tree and hoping I receive a strong signal from the universe that more of this is in store for me. My soul is happy.

I wrote a thing last year and I’m glad I could share my unique window view of teaching during a pandemic. Let me know what you think!

What are your hopes for the 2021-2022 school year?
If you are a HS physics teacher, do this! Easily the best PD I’ve attended at AAPT. Free and you don’t need to be a member!

If you're a physics teacher, sometimes you also find a spring or steel ball bearing in your pocket.

First 30 min of hybrid class time I have one-on-one conferences with each in-person physicist. This week I asked “what is one thing you liked about in person classes last week?” (First week). SO MANY said “I liked meeting my teachers” and that warms my heart! #pandemicschool

Day 2 of Hybrid. What a super unique opportunity for me to observe human behavior. Young people returning to a very social setting after 13 mos of being told not to socialize. #pandemicschool

Excited to announce I’ve accepted a position as a physics and math teacher at a Middle College HS in San Diego county and I couldn’t be happier. I feel so cared for by my god, who has been patiently hearing out my pleas for years .

It’s difficult when a teacher is brought on to a school surrounded by hope that things will change, but then is not set up for success. That is my story. Thankfully, while I’m excited, I’m making sure not to have any expectations going into my new setting. Just bringing myself💙

I was naive and immature when I started at my current school 7 years ago. I am now wiser and more tempered, and have accepted that the work is going to be hard and take a long time to make small meaningful changes.
