How we feel after 2 days of conferences on Wednesday and Thursday and a full day of school with the students on Friday. I even have a huge pimple to show for it! Happy weekend y’all! 🙌🏼

Forever my love. 🤍 swipe to see the faces I get when I keep taking pictures... #happyvalentinesday

Comparison. 🙄 I’m rolling my eyes because it’s a constant struggle for me. Comparison is such a thief! It takes our confidence, our self esteem, our happiness and our security. I often fall in the trap of looking on social media and comparing filtered posts to my unfiltered life. Can I just tell y’all no one has it together like it seems on the gram! When I was chatting with some teachers on Zoom, I said distance creates distortion. Just because you follow someone doesn’t mean you know them. Give yourself grace. We’re more similar than you think. 🤍

This whole teaching during a pandemic thing is hard. Yesterday I put a question box on my story asking how teachers are really feeling and these were some of the most common words I saw: tired, struggling, exhausted, drained, worn out, stressed, anxious. These replies broke me and also made me feel seen. This year is difficult, and we’re not alone. 🤍 I’m thankful that Jesus cares enough to carry all my burdens.

This is the real behind the scenes of making a science video...🤦🏼‍♀️ I filmed another video for my students showing how temperature and salinity affect the density of water. It’s on my YouTube channel, Marte In The Middle, if you wanna check it out! I can’t make a video without getting roasted by my students all day. 🤷🏼‍♀️ #middleschoollife

Even in the midst of the chaos, I still love to teach. The format is definitely not my favorite, but my passion is teaching. If you’re extra like me and like dressing for the holidays, @trendyteacherz has you covered for Valentines Day! One of my students said my outfit was funky today, so I took it as a compliment. 🤣 Use my code marteinthemiddle for money off with @trendyteacherz!
