Every morning and throughout the day, to check-in with my students I ask them, "How are your hearts?"
My Heart by Corrina Luyken
Daily Musings 65 “really”
Whenever I type 'really' in my writing, I delete it.
Daily Musings 64 “is it self-care if…”
I spent the day in bed, absolutely uninterrupted. I haven’t had an uninterrupted day to myself in years. Not since having my little guy. So today was kind of a big deal for me.
Daily Musings 63 “3R’s”
Rest. Reflect. Rejuvenate.
Daily Musings 61 “changes”
’m going to continue to put forth every effort in ensuring my kids learn and love learning. But my work ends when I leave that school building. Teaching consumes me. It’s hard for me to separate it from other areas of my life. It’s draining mentally, physically and emotionally and in so many ways, it’s impossible. But I love it. And I love my kids. But when I get home, every part of me needs to be for my little guy. And after he goes to sleep, every part of me needs to be for me.

Daily Musings 59 “26 students”
My 25 students along with 7 colleagues (3 ECE's, 1 prep teacher, 1 SNA, a student teacher and myself) were back (or able to be back) in the physical school building after 2 weeks of mandatory self-isolation due to a positive Covid-19 result amongst a student in my class.
Daily Musings 58 “breathe”
I washed and combed my hair for the first time in weeks, maybe months. Trying to remember to breathe.
Daily Musings 57 – Day 14 “Nikki Giovanni”
Today though, I find myself drawn to the work of Nikki Giovanni.
Daily Musings 56 – Day 13 “Be gentle”
We’re not living in the easiest of times. Be gentle with yourself and others.
