I went back to work today after a 3+ month maternity leave and was greeted with so much excitement and love from my students and coworkers ❤️ It’s hard to be away from my baby, but it’s also great to love what you do so much that it’s easy to come back to 🥹

The kids had a half day so I brought Addie in to meet some of my teacher friends and see my classroom 🥹 it was so much fun to show her off! …and I’m very glad to still have a month left of maternity leave 😅

I did in fact make it through the first two weeks of school (and then some 😅). Our baby girl, Addie, was born in early September 💕 it’s been very bizarre not being in a classroom, but I’m soaking up every minute of maternity leave with her!

Day 1 of year 12! Will I make it through the first two weeks of school?? Only time will tell 😅 Peep my newly renovated classroom with 6 full sized whiteboards all along the walls 😍😍😍

Fellow math teachers who have been on maternity leave: Has anyone had a sub that was NOT a math teacher? It seems like there’s a good chance at least some of my classes may be covered by, essentially, a warm body for the semester I’ll be out for. I’m having a hard time planning for that. #mtbos ♾️

Such a great day 2 at #wmc25. All the sessions I attended left me feeling excited and ready to make changes, the sun was shining, and I got to connect with lots of wonderful math educators!! This place fills my soul every year ❤️ #iteachmath

Looks like we’re going to have some great weather up in Green Lake for #WMC25 ☀️ #iteachmath

We covered arithmetic sequences and series in my honors sophomore class today. A bunch of them said “thanks for planning something easy for today!” 1) I’d argue they aren’t always “easy”, they’re just very intuitive 😁 2) We just got done covering rational functions, so I guess I’d agree 🤣 ♾️

Hard launched my baby bump to the students on Thursday with this fun shirt that says “Teaching Math, Expecting an Addition”🤰🏼 So excited for Baby Sheehan coming in September ❤️

In case you haven’t lately, survey your students. I always forget how much valuable input students are willing to give when you give them the chance!

We were supposed to go back to school this morning but SURPRISE the heat was broken 🙃 Nothing like getting school canceled 5 minutes after you get there 🤣

Excited about these gifts for my niece and godson who both LOVE counting 😁 #tmwyk #iteachmath

So there has been more outrage and suggestions to protect CEOs from being killed in the last weeks, but not a damn thing done for years related to kids and teachers being killed in school buildings. Do I have that right????

“Have Yourself A Merriam Little Christmas” Merriam, a career-oriented lexicographer from the city, returns to her small town for the holidays and meets Webster, a ruggedly handsome librarian, who shows her the true DEFINITION of Christmas. Hit us up @hallmarkchannel.bsky.social @netflix.com 🙏

My work secret Santa clearly knows me well 🤣 Not only is it spindrift, but it’s my number one favorite flavor 🥰

Love that @ddmeyer.bsky.social blogged about the new AI tool I’m introducing to my students literally TODAY 😁 I agree it seems to have its pros and cons, but with flipgrid out of the picture, I’m really hoping snorkl can step in (and up my feedback game!). ♾️ danmeyer.substack.com/p/here-is-a-...

Okay Here Is an Interesting AI Math Edtech Product

Trying to prove, even if only to myself, that I can still find beauty in edtech.

I love the big puzzles in the NYT Thanksgiving weekend issue! Some of these are very difficult (I don’t even know where to start with some of the other ones 😅) but I love that they’re excellent examples of logic and counterexamples!! #ITeachMath ♾️

Used these Christmas tree puzzles as a little warmup today and they were a hit! @mathequalslove.bsky.social always coming through with sharing seasonal puzzles 🙌🏻 #iTeachMath ♾️

Honestly why did this break feel so short 😭 Two more weeks until final exams over here. We can do it 😅

We really have to work again tomorrow????

We have a STEM themed brewery in MKE and my cousin and (both women in STEM 💪) left our mark today 😁

Happy Thanksgiving break friends! We made it!! *slams classroom door shut ‘til Monday 🚪 #ITeachMath

Now that flip/flipgrid is gone, what else are we using?? Forgot I used it a lot for things at the end of the semester and now I’m not sure what to use 😬 #EduSky #iTeachMath

Can you guess today’s underground spirit week theme?? #iTeachMath

Good stuff lined up for tomorrow! - Growth and Decay lab with the IM1 students - Investigating/reviewing exponent rules in IM2 - Practicing with right triangle trig in IM2 honors AND it’s a half day for the kids with wellness activities for teachers to choose from in the afternoon 😁😁😁 ♾️

We’re doing underground staff spirit week this week because I needed something to get through this full week of school so I decided to make it happen 😁 Day 1 was blackout and it was a success! It’s such an easy and fun way to bring the staff together 👏 #iTeachMath

I listen to a podcast called Fantasy Fangirls and they are currently doing a deep dive on the last ACOTAR book, which involves a character climbing up/down a spiral staircase. Each episode the hosts use math to figure out how many miles she walks up and down the stairs, and it’s amazing 🤣 ♾️
