A day late and a couple dollars short
My partner and I received an order from Yoseka Stationery last weekend. An inky, penguin-infused order. And I’m too excited not to share. Even mid-bullet journal series. So, allow me to share what has me so excited of late.
Bridges made of stationery, a mnml digest
Five links. Ten sentences or fewer. On connecting through stationery. Building bridges between people.
It’s been my experience that stationery brings people together. Across hobbies, interests, and — excitingly — even across time.
A change-up, swap-up, freshen-up
A sparkling, shiny new sextet for the week. My students return to campus this week. A fresh set greets them.
Four new pen-and-ink combinations enter rotation this week. The KACO, Narwhal, Kaweco and Pilot all sport round, unground nibs. The first days of a school year a whirlwinds of activity. Quick jottings abound. And desk surfaces are not always available while writing. Round nibs are forgiving, even at odd angles.
The bits and bobs of my teaching bullet journal: Meeting logs
I live in my teaching bullet journal during the school year. The notebook houses everything from curriculum revision to my day-to-day task lists to a host of meeting notes. Brainstorms on lesson sequencing, calendars pacing assignments to fit students’ needs, and periodic analytic reflections to assess whether what I intend to teach is what I’m actually communicating.
This week: the deceptively simple meeting log.
