Matisse: Le Madras rouge

August 27, 2023 By //  by Ashley

It was my first time visiting Philadelphia and I was there for the ISTE (International Society for Technology). My mom and daughter had come to Philly to make it a little vacation. There was a little window of time that I had off during lunch and my mom said, “Let’s go to the Barnes Museum.” …

ISTE inspiration for EdTech and teaching teachers

July 28, 2023 By //  by Ashley

When I stress and feel nervous, I quote Eleanor Roosevelt. “You must do the things you think you cannot do. People grow through experience if they meet life honestly and courageously. This is how character is built.” Her words remind me that it’s normal to be scared but pushing through and jumping in will make …

Dancing at Ivybrook Academy

February 4, 2023 By //  by Ashley

My dear friend Kris surprised me with a question…”could you come dance at my school for career day?” Of course I said yes! When I grew up, I always said that I wanted to be a ballerina. I’m an educator with a dancer’s heart. The best audiences are always children. I was delighted and can’t …

Working with my closest friends makes my job a joy. Laughing together every single day makes me excited to get to work.

Beautiful Birthday Books for Children

February 1, 2023 By //  by Ashley

Celebrating a child’s birthday with their peers brings so much joy. I’m on my twenty-fourth year of being an elementary teacher. For many of those years, we celebrated birthdays with cupcakes. What most elementary teachers do now is much more meaningful than cupcakes. We celebrate with a book. Parents choose a book, wrap it like …

Losing my Dad: Saint-Exupéry says it best

July 25, 2021 By //  by Ashley

To lose a someone who has the most wholehearted acceptance into your soul is one of life’s most devastating heartbreaks. We lost my Dad a few months ago to melanoma. This quote from Saint-Exupery was read by my Dad’s law partner at his funeral and I think it speaks so true to how you feel …
