Creating a personal finances curriculum with a team for the district led to a discussion about food. We ended up discussing our favorite struggle foods. I have since made and enjoyed two different casseroles.

I have been teaching/discussing how things affect mood in my lit class. Music was listed as a mood booster. I was intentional with my drive to work music but the algorithm wasn't my friend. It kept playing wrong versions of songs. Finally got one to work and then it hit me with . . .

Overhead conversion, started with a student saying that they would not eat offal. Then moved to what if a lion ate you, would you want them to eat your organs or leave them. Then moved to cannibals eating organs. What happened!?

Student came out to me today because they were doing a lit assignment. I was a little sad because we have known each other for a while and apologized for using incorrect pronouns all this time. They gave me grace because they said they were still questioning when we met. Great kid getting better! 🏳️‍🌈

I laugh at Fox for complaining about non-Spanish speakers watching the world cup on Telemundo. When I was younger, we could only watch games on Telemundo as there wasn't much English coverage. Then again I am old.

A student says he is stuck on a portion of my final that asks students to pick a character who is most like themselves or who they really liked. He said none. One of his teachers asks him to summarize a book he read and then says "Wait, that is like me!" Lit hits us differently and I love it.

I was told I have all summer to pack my room. I thought I was ahead of schedule. I asked for a box label template and my new room number. The information included that I need to be packed by the last day of school 😬

As part of my packing up my room, I have been both purging and giving things away. I saw some students doing cardistry before spring break and invited them to my classroom for cards. They were very excited to walked away with theory11 Monarch decks and gave a demonstration. Not them but same trick

I got a note that I should come soon to see a former student. I said goodbye this morning and she passed this afternoon. 😭 She was a ray of sunshine in this world and cared more about you than any of her troubles. You'll always be in my heart and your message clear.

I have been trying to push it off. But I no longer can. I need to say goodbye to a former student tomorrow. This one hurts. She is a light in this world. She took a catchphrase of mine and made it hers. I just can't handle it right now. I always smile when I think back on her as a student.

Never submitted a comic book to be graded and stabbed which are my little joys and should be read. But these ones have very personal art on them and I decided to preserve them at ECCC. Not for a rating but for posterity. I will post them to share when done. Depending on how it goes. I may do more.

I do a financial literacy survey in my econ class. I ask what age to they think they would like to retire. I normally get 60-70 or never. This year I got a bunch of 40-50 and one 20-30. I think I teach too close to fantasy aka tech boom dreams and parents who retired really young.

Student asked how to guarantee them being in my class next year. I open my wallet and point to it. They tell me that they don't know what that means. Another student, "Pay that man!" I crack up and student says, "Hell nah, I'll take the other teacher." Now the whole class is laughing.

I know it’s difficult right now, but I insist that you seek and enjoy beautiful things, even if it seems frivolous or irresponsible in the face of overwhelming horror. I want you to feed yourself artistically, spiritually, and literally, because you can’t Do The Work when you’re starving.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but if you’re working on a comic that includes Spanish dialogue and have any doubts, feel free to reach out. I’m happy to help, free of charge. I just really care about seeing the Spanish language represented accurately in comics 💖
