Our semester ACT prep class finished reading The Disappearing Spoon last week. To celebrate, we threw a “spoon only” party where everyone brought foods that require spoons. 🥄 📕 @sam_kean

Happy Halloween 🎃 Keeping the Einstein tradition alive one year at a time #chemteacher

As a chemistry teacher, there is just something special about students drawing Lewis dot structures for covalent molecules & then building them with the molecule kits. Learning in progress! 🥰 ⚛️ #chemistry

Taking a “worksheet break” from ionic naming & formula practice by doing a double replacement rxn. 💛 ➕➖ #ionic #chem

I remember my first year teaching (2019 & I teach HS) & a student swore all the time in class. I called home to tell the parents & the mom responded, “ok… and?”

Alchemy lab (separation techniques), surface tension penny lab (scientific method), & using fruit loops to create Bohr models = first month of school complete ✅🥼 #chemistry #chemteacher

It’s officially Year #6! Let’s do this 🫶🏼📝🥼🧪 #chemistry #Teachersof𝕏

Bring it on year #6 of teaching! I can’t believe how fast time goes by 🥹

At the end of the school yr, I give my Ss the opportunity to give advice to my next group of chemistry students coming in. The responses never fail to make me laugh & smile. I include them in a slide during the first day of school called “advice from past students”. #chem #teach

Thank you @NashvillePEF for creating this documentary & for showing the amazing (& hard!) work that teachers do. We teach for the kids… always. ❤️ Seeing the smiles on all of the students’ faces throughout this video is just a glimpse into why we do what we do!

It’s the last day of school for our Ss. Received this letter today & immediately teared up. My heart is so full & I continue to be amazed at the kindness & dedication to education that my Ss have. Future chemists in the making 🥹🥹🥹 #chemed #teacher
