My New School!

Posted: November 6, 2017 in 2017, personal

So I just started teaching 4th grade in San Francisco. My new students are great but I definitely miss everyone from PS 89… You guys were amazing. I was a cactus this year for Halloween. I even made my famous kitty litter cake! In other news I am now an uncle! Baby Carter was born over the summer at only 24 weeks. He’s finally home and doing great. The picture at the bottom is me and my class after a color run fundraiser. Please send me a message — I would love to hear what you are up to!!!

At the end of June we moved everything in a big truck across the country to San Francisco, California. I’m going to be working at a new school teaching 4th grade! It was a long drive but we saw a lot of beautiful things.

Here is some of the corn we saw growing in Nebraska. There was corn growing EVERYWHERE! People from Nebraska are known as “cornhuskers”. They’re also famous for their Runza sandwiches and Dorothy Lynch salad dressing.

We stopped in Salt Lake City, Utah for a few days to visit family and hiked up Mount Olympus. It was a really hard hike and my knees still hurt!

This picture shows the Bonneville Salt Flats. It’s a giant field of salt that was left behind after a prehistoric lake evaporated.

We made it to California and the Pacific Ocean! Here is a sand dollar with some barnacles’ calcareous plates still attached.
