I design lessons, build assignments, facilitate difficult conversations, and think deeply about how students learn in my Communication classrooms and now in First-Year seminars.

Joining A Little Bit of Everything and Momfessionals again for Friday Favorites. I don’t have a ton of photos this week because I spent most of it on my couch with a horrible sore throat, congestion, laryngitis, and achiness. I stayed home from work on Monday and Tuesday, went back…

I know I have some Canadian readers here and I wish we had beat someone in the Gold Medal game, but I’m so excited for USA Hockey this morning! I teared up a bit when Hughes shot the winning shot after hearing earlier in the game that only 37 people…

Continue reading →: Gah – Two weeks of silence!?!
How has it been two weeks since I last posted here? I feel like my life is a series of must-dos lately, and this just isn’t one of them. I need to work on that. But, today, I want to get something on the blog, and Show Me and Sweet…
