Finished summer school labs last week....enjoyed the students excitement with science! I wish I could bottle up their curiosity and energy. A big shout out to the teachers that spent their summer teaching our students! You are superheroes!

To all my fellow teachers still teaching and finishing up your year.....you are seen and your efforts are felt. We appreciate you! Yes....you can have a beer or glass of wine at lunch after your last day! Cheers to your hard work!

I went crazy today and ate lunch at noon! As a teacher I usually ate lunch at 2:00 this year due to COVID rescheduling. Now....I need to eat slower....I was still done in 10 minutes! I just love summer!
