Essential Questions

The house where my grandmother was born

When unit planning, a big picture aspect you think through are essential questions students will engage with throughout the unit. As I think through summer, in which I am fortunate enough to have time off, I am wondering if essential questions might guide me in spending this time purposefully. I'm the kind of person who really enjoys making to do lists, setting goals, and checking things off of lists. Thinking through essential questions might help me to think critically about these to-dos and make sure my life is in integrity and values-aligned.

I'm brainstorming what essential questions might look like, but here are some current ideas:

*What can I do to become actively anti-racist and less complicit in white supremacy?

*How can I be a good ancestor? (I'm currently listening to Layla F Saad's Good Ancestor Podcast and it's making me think about this question a lot)

*How can I create a home with security, ritual, and freedom to explore and grow for our family?

* How can I be content with what I already have?

*How can I spend my time and money in ways that are values aligned?

*How can I make space for creativity in my life?

There are a lot of questions here, but right now they all seem connected, and I'm digging through them.

Two November Experiments

Avi as a strawberry for Halloween. Since I'm feeling a bit more in a routine work and schedule wise, I've decided to try two experiments this month. I've been thinking about both of them for a while, and I think I have the bandwidth to try them out this month. Experiment #1: The Seven Minute Workout I struggle to get into exercise routines. It's not my highest priority, but I always do feel more energetic on the days I exercise. I've decided to do the seven minute HIIT workout everyday in November to see how it feels. It definitely gets my heart rate up without feeling too hard, and it's easy to fit in right before I shower in the morning. Although I've done this workout intermittently, I'm curious to see what it feels like to make this a daily habit. Experiment #2: Time Block Planning at Work Attempt #1 I read Deep Work by Cal Newport earlier this year, and I've also been listening to his podcast recently. In both the book and podc

Some Favorite Reads of 2020

Reading is a core part of my identity, and I'm glad that I was able to read a lot of great books this year. I also loved seeing reading through Avi's eyes as a way to make sense of the world and learn new words. All that being said, I thought I'd share a few favorites from this year: My favorites: * The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennet. This book hooked me from the beginning. I'm a sucker for well-written books with multiples perspectives and timelines, and this was deserving of all the hype it got this year. I also gifted it to my mom for her birthday, and she devoured it too! It's the story of two identical twin sisters who go down two different paths in life and split directions when one of the sisters decides to pass for white and leaves her past behind. Bennet's other book The Mothers is definitely on my to read list. * The Ten Thousand Doors of January by Alix E. Harrow. This was a beautifully written fantasy book that contained an

August Goals

The plus side of not writing this post until August 8th is that I've already got started on lots of these goals! August is always a big month of transition for our family. Joel's starting a new semester of grad school and TA-ing, and it's the start of a new school year for me. Back to school looks very different with Covid. Both of us are starting the year virtually, and so I'm trying to think creatively about ways to connect with a new group of students and families. This year Avi's starting at daycare too! It's the first time she's ever been cared for outside of our home, but so far we've been really happy with her teachers and the set up. I think she will love being around other kiddos too. Given all these big changes, and the air of uncertainty that comes with back to school this year, I tried to focus on goals that would support overall well-being without being too ambitious. My biggest goal for the month is to give ourselves time and comp
