Students testing out their knowledge of leavening and using the last kale from the garden to make ‘hulk’ muffins!! Delicious and nutritious! #QCFACSED
When your students are as excited as you about growing, harvesting and selling their own garlic!!! 🥰🥰🥰 #jpgarlicproject #QCFACSED
I wish I could say this were possible in a class of 14 year old who have missed most of the last two years of schooling. I did laugh a little… at the crazy behaviors and my attempt to teach whilst they were occurring. These poor kids have a rude awakening awaiting them. 😢

The UN report says climate change is a code red for humanity. In the medical world, a code red means people drop everything and run to the person who is in trouble to administer whatever is needed to keep them from dying. Our world needs that.

Giving students choices, allowing them to potentially fail and to rise to a higher bar than they are used to, teaches decision making, resilience, motivation and self-sufficiency. #tomatoseason #studentschoicerecipe #Foodlabs #QCFACSED

TikTok isn't just for singing/dancing! It is a new way for educators worldwide to share tips & creative ways to meet students where they are. Here is an article from @edutopia on how teachers use TikTok in the classroom! #CSUFedtech @An_Wr3n @CSUF_EdTech

No matter how relevant, useful or beneficial my lessons are, I fear home and careers will always be looked down upon in my district. The ‘fun’ class where students bake cookies!!
Making it my life’s goal to modernize my school’s FACS curriculum.

I still hear our Superintendent’s words. I try to check in with staff as much as I can and use the same words He asked me: “How are you? Is there anything you need?” These words are much more powerful than telling staff “you got this”…parents need to hear this too. ❤️🐻
