⚡️Ms. Watts⚡️

Stopped by @TacoBell yesterday after work and my student came out with my order like, “Ms. Watts?!” She was so excited to see me while working, and honestly, moments like that remind me why I love being a teacher. 🌮😂💕

The school year started as a whirlwind but a meaningful one. First in-person doctorate classes of the fall semester in the books. Balancing teaching + doctoral work is tough, but I'm growing. We got this!

Survived the first week back! It was exhausting, there was a lot of change, but also fun and full of the moments that reminded me why I love teaching. I’m excited for the year ahead!

This week’s PD = big changes. New programs and curriculum mean rebuilding my materials from scratch, but I’m looking at it as a reset. Excited to see what comes from it.

This quote by Mother Teresa hits home: “I can do things you cannot, you can do things I cannot; together we can do great things.” We all have something unique to offer. The real power is in what we can do together.

I spent way too much time today creating pieces for my door decor…and honestly, it was fun and made me happy.
Will the students care? Maybe.
Did I still go all out? Absolutely.
Why? Because this space has to bring me peace too.

Some of the best growth comes when things feel messy. That struggle? It means you’re figuring it out.

Nothing says Sunday scaries like walking into a store and seeing back to school stuff in every other aisle. Wasn’t ready. Still not ready. Might buy a cute planner or some flair pens though.

Spent the week stressing over my first research proposal for class. I spent late nights working on it all week and finally submitted it last night. It PUSHED me, especially since I’ve never written one before. I’m tired, but proud.I did it!

It’s okay to be passionate and still protect your peace. You don’t have to say yes to everything to be a good teacher. Saying no can be part of your growth too. Set those boundaries!

My word for the week: “layered.”
I’ve got two papers due for two different classes, and I’m definitely feeling it. But I took a long walk today, and it helped clear my head a bit. What’s your word for how this week is starting?

The Chinese Lantern Festival was magical! I went as part of my birthday festivities and stood there for a while just taking it all in. Sometimes the best thing you can do is let yourself be in the moment. If you haven’t been yet, definitely go! #ChineseLanternFestival #BirthdayWeekend #Grateful

29 today. They say your late twenties are about stepping into who you are becoming. I feel that. I am learning, growing, and creating with purpose. It’s not about perfection. It’s about progress. I am proud of how far I’ve come💕

Thoughtful Thursday: Teaching has taught me a lot about patience, flexibility, and growth. I’ve learned just as much about myself as I have about my students.
