About
Obviously I’m a teacher. less obviously I teach high school level science. This year, Living Environment (Biology) specifically. Years past, Physiology and Health Science.
I teach in a public school in Brooklyn. I love science, I love teaching, I love teaching science to young adults and seeing them grow. I plan on teaching in some capacity for the rest of my life. Also, I’m from San Francisco, so that Cali love runs deep like the fog that creeps in on little cat feet.
Things related to teaching I love:
this movie: The Class
this song: Be True To Your School
This blog is focused on fashion, teaching, and teaching fashionably. That’s it, really. If you’re looking for deep insights into what makes a teacher great vs good or the pros/cons of project based learning, look elsewhere. This blog isn’t meant to be super serious and/or profound. Likewise if you have a clothing budget that would finance a high school science department.
Oh my gosh… we will have to exchange e-mails and have a chat or two. I’m thinking of moving to San Fran in a year or so with one of my best friends…. she’s been trying to convince me, but it is just so difficult to find jobs out of state. I’d love to hear about your school/experience. I teach in Ohio right now, my whole blog is about my kids, they are ESL students… similar to you, I LOVE my job.
Hi! I’ve just sent you an email about moving to SF
Just discovered your blog via Academia and Fashion–and I’m so glad to find another high school science teacher out in the blogging world! (So many teacher blogs out here are Primary school!) I teach biology!
Look forward to reading your posts!
Great Blog!!

Hi! I’m just about to start my student teaching (3 1/2 weeks – eek!) near Boston through the MAT Program at Northeastern and I came across your blog while trying to find other high school teacher blogs. I blog now about DIY crafts/projects and cooking, but as I dive into teaching it may slowly expand to incorporate some of that. Anyway, I just wanted to say hi and that your blog is super awesome and I’ve already gotten so much inspiration from reading some of your posts. Hope you’re having a great day! Best, Sara
thanks for the support Sara! Best of luck with your first years of teaching…it’s can be a life changing time!
