I am so incredibly excited and honored to be attending #LiftOff2023 this summer! This will be my 1st one, so if you see someone with their mouth hanging open the whole time, it's probably me and please remind me to play it cool.

Our first day of virtual Project ROBOT with #TechWorksatCCA! Great job @ChelseaVarnado and @Za_MDF #CCA #HowSchoolShouldWork

[Chelsea Varnado @ChelseaVarnado]

Tying self-advocacy skills with @VEXRobotics today! It's hard to speak for yourself, so we're practicing telling our robot exactly what we want it to do. We're also "rephrasing" a request if it didn't do what we wanted it to the first time so that it understands the assignment!

Kicked off my Saturday with our first CS Ecosystems meeting with @remakelearning! I am so excited to learn, be inspired and build a STEM focused community.

@RyanMcGTech @GilletteStadium @MassCUE @capriottis That looks amazing!

This week, in Special Education, we are going to practice social skills and working together to program our @VEXRobotics bot. I cannot wait to introduce it to my students and have some fun while practicing communication!

Flexboxes and grids tried, but they did not get the best of me for this project!

The marked up image was the only instruction provided and the 2nd is how my page turned out.

I have been learning HTML/CSS on the side for a few months now and have my very own site now to showcase myself now!

Of course this is only the beginning, but I am proud of this baby today!

Our lovely transition coordinator made adorable cookies for the entire Special Education dept!

We can't wait to eat them and hopefully get a 2nd too!

My husband and I are crazy and decided to get a tiny cabin in the Poconos with 5 kids 2-12!

Those of you that have been what's the best things you've done while here?

Bonus points if it will wear all the kids' energy out!

I took my toddler to the Children's Museum of Pittsburgh and am loving all the kindness reminders!

My toddler is just loving it ALL.

It's officially August, which means I have a week to finish summer projects before the big kids return and we take our final trip to end the summer!

Also have to figure out how to squeeze walking miles around town in during the school day or my dog might revolt.

[Chelsea Varnado @ChelseaVarnado]

@coachthomastech PA: teachers report the 15th and students start the 29th of August. Last day for students is June 9th and teachers the 15th. It's getting close!

[Chelsea Varnado @ChelseaVarnado]
