The Poisonous Pursuit of Perfectionism

December 14, 2021December 14, 2021 / battlekimoftherepublic / 1 Comment

Old habits die hard. I wrote a post in July 2020 about Overcoming Perfectionism, and yet I'm still here writing about this same topic. It doesn't matter that I know perfectionism is overrated. I still fall into the same trap that I have to be perfect at everything I do. And yet again, that is … Continue reading The Poisonous Pursuit of Perfectionism

Spoons

November 30, 2021November 30, 2021 / battlekimoftherepublic / Leave a comment

It's been a busy couple of weeks. So much so that I haven't had time or I've forgotten to write. But I'm back now! And today I want to talk about spoons. Yes you read that correctly. Spoons are important. The Spoon Theory is a pretty common one in the circles of illness and disability. … Continue reading Spoons

Starting Fresh

November 9, 2021November 9, 2021 / battlekimoftherepublic / Leave a comment

It has been an absolutely crazy week since I last wrote! The big news is that I moved! I'm renting a house, and I'm so excited about the whole thing. This is the such a new adventure for me. I'm pretty settled in my job, paying down my car,, and getting to be a functional … Continue reading Starting Fresh

Adapting to Change

November 2, 2021November 2, 2021 / battlekimoftherepublic / Leave a comment

I don't really know what to write this week. There's a lot I want to say, but also a lot I want to keep under wraps too. My life is changing. My teaching is very different from how it was last year. My pacing is different, my students are different, and my approach is different. … Continue reading Adapting to Change

Celebrating Five Years

October 26, 2021October 26, 2021 / battlekimoftherepublic / Leave a comment

Can you believe it? I know I certainly can't!!! But somehow or other, this blog has officially been around for 5 years! Sometimes it doesn't feel like it's been that long. I still remember why I started this blog. I have a lot of thoughts in my head, and this is a productive way for … Continue reading Celebrating Five Years

Rolling with the Punches

October 19, 2021 / battlekimoftherepublic / 1 Comment

It was nice to take a break, but it also feels good to be back. And if I'm honest, I'm right back into the fray. That break was short-lived. Sometimes life throws a series of punches at you. They're not always bad punches, but they are attacks nonetheless. My work just got a little more … Continue reading Rolling with the Punches

Take a Break

October 5, 2021October 5, 2021 / battlekimoftherepublic / Leave a comment

Fall Break for me starts at the end of this week! I am so excited to have a week off of school! I know some people can get up in arms cause teachers get "a lot of breaks". But truthfully, teaching is hard work. I deal with almost 100 teenagers every day. Not to mention … Continue reading Take a Break

Closing Out

September 28, 2021 / battlekimoftherepublic / 1 Comment

One of the things that I pride myself on as a teacher is that I very rarely take work home. I have a few reasons and methods that help me achieve that goal. First of all, I use my planning time wisely. Since my school is on block schedules, I usually only have 2 or … Continue reading Closing Out

Values

September 21, 2021 / battlekimoftherepublic / Leave a comment

Something that has been on my mind lately is the idea of values. Every person has their own set of values and beliefs that shape who they are. As a teacher, I have values that I expect in my classroom. The biggest one I want and display in my classroom is respect. I don't care … Continue reading Values
