Summer is starting to look slightly more normal now as patios and even dine-in services are being offered at restaurants.

Beware – here comes a very teacher-y post! The school year isn’t over yet but here are a couple of my reflections on how emergency teaching and learning are going so far.
I’ve been reading a lot while in self-isolation so it’s time for another fiction/nonfiction book pairing! These two books go together by theme, but are also directed towards the same level of reader: middle-aged kids! (Whatever that means.)Read More »
