Gawd, one of the things my school teaches elementary student's is how to self-regulate their emotions. Basically, ways to cope, calm down, and deal with out-of-control emotions.

I would have *seriously* benefitted from learning this early on. Like, easily 90% of my school and social life problems have been related to understanding and controlling my emotions.

I'm glad kids are learning this now.

Personal pet peeve- when reading through guides for teaching elementary students, and the text assumes that the average teacher is female by using female pronouns.

Ex: "Exploring reasoning is also extremely important for the teacher as a formative assessment tool. It helps her understand each student’s strengths and weaknesses, content knowledge, reasoning strategies and misconceptions."

Heckin' yummy dinner!

It was a team effort:
Jake (little bro) did the brussel sprouts & pasta
I threw together the salad (goat cheese, persimmons, & pomegranate dressing)
Mom boiled the carrots/zucchinis.

Okay I've been literally playing this game for an hour. My number sense is... well, hopefully improving.

It's amazing how much teaching in elementary school makes you realize how many basic skills you've forgotten or skipped growing up.

Anyone played the 24 game before? We played it during math stations in my 3rd grade classroom last week. It makes me realize how much I need to practice my basic arithmetic lol.

Found this pic of me at work. It was just randomly in a folder??

I mean nothing says "ally" like passively wearing the iridescent safety pin you bought for $2.17 but okay.

Update: Old guy stopped trying to talk to me and started talking to the barista again.

Hot tip, guys: Don't corner staff who are literally a captive audience to you. It's a gross look.

"Watcha working on there, young lady"

I spoke too soon about not being bothered when I go out.

Hey folks! I've successfully made it out of the house and over to the nice cafe that makes the excellent mexican mochas.

And I got in a jog this morning! :3

Actually I'm really happy with this. Might fill in antlers later.

I'm scared of messing this up once I ink it, so here's a sketch.

I Thought I Wanted to Draw But Everything I'm Doing is Coming Out Garbage and Not Even Fun Garbage, a Memoir.
