Stick with what brings you joy. Together, this week is another collection of cool-toned colors: mellow blues, teals, and earth tones. Half are EF nibs.

Three strikes make a turkey
I worked in three modes this week. First, I taught in person Monday and Tuesday. This involved the usual analog bookkeeping and lesson planning. My electronic work was in our school learning management system (LMS), and in my virtual pacing guide.
Long view on a short week
The Thanksgiving holiday in the US makes for a short work week. Selecting an ink palette for a short week is challenging.
