Teacher, fisherman, and mediocre cook. I also make horrible science puns, but only periodically. Get it? I'll be here all year folks.

This year Texas changed the forces unit from 7 days to nearly 3 weeks. So, we had to make some new activities. The Ennis FD came through today and the kids got to test their egg contraptions from the truck ladder! FYI there were about 6 teams that survived the drop!

The kids were bugging me that we didn’t have a class Elf so Santa turned one of the toys I had to confiscate earlier this year into a magical elf from the South Pole. His name is Temu. #ElfOnAShelf #Temu

Teaching the youth how to play, “cards.” My favorite Christmas party tradition. I am dominating the table lol Love my Christmas Parties! Elf playing in the background, mock barber shop in the corner, Chromebook challenges. Color pages. If you’re bored, it’s your own fault.

Did you see 1? I called this forecast on Tues and sat back while every1 closed down. How on 🌎 is snow going to stick after it rains all night and the temps are steady at 34+? Now we get to make up days in May when the weather is amazing and we haven’t even got through Feb yet…

There is finally light! After more than 60 days in the dark, UtqiaÄĄvik, Alaska finally has daylight again! On Wednesday, the sun crested the horizon for about 40 minutes. By the end of the month, it will be up for four hours! #AKwx

Tough kids require creative motivation. Cost for me: Hair trimmer kit 25 bucks One week of a bad hair cut Reward for me: Uninterrupted classrooms during the testing season…Priceless This new breed of student is different. Adapt to it or complain about it and fail.

Easter plans fell through so we played 18 rounds of golf instead! We spent a lot of time in the forest looking for our colorful golf balls. It was like an Easter egg hunt! Also almost hit a house lol. Love going through life with my beautiful wife. We laughed till he cried.

My new plan for early retirement. At the end of every school year, I will retire the recess soccer ball and have all my students sign it. Surely one of them will be famous and I can sell it on eBay. 15-20 year investment. Follow me for more horrid financial advice. #teacherlife

😳😬Well fam, I said I’d never do it! I’d never go back! I’ve decided to return to college for my masters at East Texas A&M in Commerce. Should have my degree by the end of summer 2026. Fast and furious. All online. Wish me luck. Goal is to be a Curriculum Coordinator.
