Mel 🖤🏜️🇲🇽 (she/her/ella)

I’m going to say it. Winter break was too short and I’m not ready to go back on Monday.

Words cannot express how much I enjoy going out for brunch/lunch. Because I’m deprived of that during the school day.

Love the holiday season. Hate that it doesn’t feel festive unless I’m cooking hundreds of tamales for multiple days.

I know we say there no kind of tired like “teacher at the beginning of the year” or “end of the year” tired. But what about the “Christmas break is so close” tired?

These Black Friday/Cyber Monday deals need to stop. -My wallet

Does anyone ever meet a student’s parents and you’re just like, “everything makes sense now…” That was me today.

When your breakfast is smiling at you. It’s gonna be a good day, right?

And here I was excited to have 100 in a few days. I’m definitely not meant for fame.

We are starting our unit on government and continuing ortografía on acentos. Also, love The House on Mango St.

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 This is also why people are so pro banning books these days. Heaven forbid the children… think.

I’m a chaotic good most of the time. And on the rare occasion chaotic evil. Honestly, that tracks.

What to get your little sobrino who likes to destroy everything for his birthday? A piñata. #MyAgentOfChaos

Mmm that would be too logical… 🙄

An example of Acción Ortográfica Quito doing the Lord's work (graffiti on a wall corrected with red spray paint)

Many commentators say that vigilante groups are never the answer. But they clearly don't know about the masked Ecuadorian trio named “Acción Ortográfica Quito,” who roam the streets at night with a singular purpose: to correct all the spelling and grammar mistakes they find in graffiti.

Igualmente!! I’ve been saying we need our own starter pack!

Apparently they had 4 subs rotating through my room yesterday. One of my students said, “Miss that means it takes 4 people to replace you.” I’ll take it.

Listen, I’m trying here. You know how hard is it for me to call in sick. But here we are.

Maybe I should get back into embroidery. 🤔

4th grade bilingual teacher! Also looking for a teacher community!

Maybe this is too much for a girl to ask for but I need a #BilingualTeacher #StarterPack.

Yes! I need all the teacher comedy to keep me sane this school year. Please, and thank you!

I’ve officially lost the battle between the germs of the littles and my immune system. Damn you flu season! 🤒🤒
