When you can't print and copy notes templates for your students because of covid, you press forward with notes anyway via #zoom and a #hue document camera. Then, you remind yourself how you are just teaching your students life skills... organization, patience, handwriting practice, taking pride in their work. . . I love our science notebooks in the stupidest ways. 😁 . . . #middleschoolscience #middleschoolteacher #stem #handsonlearning #iteach7th #iteachscience #distancelearning #teachersfollowteachers #science #chemistry #physics #physicalscience #generalscience #highschoolscience #homeschool #homeschoolscience #sciencelab #biology #highschoolscience #sciencenerd #geekout #sciencenotebook https://www.instagram.com/p/CFw1fk2BLMr/?igshid=o90wiu0qgguh

An honest attempt at finding evidence for a salt/sugar comparison lab.. not bad. Sparked some good conversations on how a level works, how to read it, what results it shows and how accurate/reliable it was. Ultimately, we are gathering evidence for a CER exercise. . . . #iteach7th #sugar #middleschoolscience #middleschoolteacher #stem #handsonlearning #distancelearning #teachersfollowteachers #science #chemistry #physics #physicalscience #generalscience #highschoolscience #homeschool #homeschoolscience #sciencelab #sciencenerd #geekout #interactivenotebook #sciencenotebook #interactivesciencenotebook https://www.instagram.com/p/CFdbxpuhhv1/?igshid=rsyzinamh7f4

At the end of the clip, can you hear how many 🦈 Autumn counted!? 😳 @adventureaquarium in Camden, NJ is always a great day trip! They did an excellent job with sanitation throughout the exhibits and the new protocols helped groups maintain social distance. We were very pleased with our experience! Also, we arrived around 3:30 PM, and with no entry after 4PM, we saw the crowds go down quickly and even had certain areas to ourselves for a few moments which was nice! We were able to see everything just in time for 6:00 PM closing without feeling rushed or like we sacrificed anything. It was pretty perfectly timed if you ask me! #adventure #shark #courage #newjersey #camden #daytrip #aquarium #sharks #sharkweek #homelife #mom #njmom #momlife #nj #momsofinstagram (at Adventure Aquarium) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEbJUWNBSmJ/?igshid=sau325tj5g9d

It's incredible how an outdoor screen, blankets and cicadas make for a magical family night 🥰 ...Enjoying what little is left of summer and desperately keeping myself preoccupied because I STILL don't know how to plan for this school year (important announcement coming tomorrow from my district after tonight's board meeting 😳 there goes my good night's sleep tonight)... How are you enjoying these last August days? Those of you who've started, how's the transition going back so far? . . . . #outdoormovies #outdoors #outdoorliving #middleschoolscience #middleschoolteacher #stem #handsonlearning #distancelearning #teacherspayteachers #teachersfollowteachers #science #chemistry #physics #physicalscience #generalscience #highschoolscience #homeschool #homeschoolscience #sciencelab #biology #highschoolscience #sciencenerd #geekout #interactivenotebook #sciencenotebook #interactivesciencenotebook (at East Amwell Township, New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEIiEVehxSU/?igshid=alnf3qe2bpxr

Sweet beings, do you want an ongoing #spa experience for only a few $? Of course you do! Plus, you DESERVE it - we all do! Currently, the #shoprite (mine is in #flemingtonnj) has mixed #eucalyptus bunches (3 for $12). Tie them together and hang them in the #bathroom to dry. With every steamy shower, the #oils diffuse and smell incredible! It lasts for weeks, even months! I've found that the thicker the stems the better. Enjoy! https://www.instagram.com/p/CEDKZ3rBrBO/?igshid=o89f738md6ya

Summer 2020 on the Edge

Summer 2020 on the Edge

To put it lightly, 2020 has been a trying year. I honestly cannot remember January and February aside from Avery and Autumn’s birthday dinners, but I do recall March coming in with an unsuspecting fury. Without warning, everyone was sent home, and everything shut down indefinitely. As a 7th grade teacher with a 1st and 3rd grader all working from home, the last stretch of the school year was a…
