Oh friend. Thank you!! 🫂🫂💕💕

Damn. 👀

Seguimos Cantando I wondered about the parts of my girlhood that have been tucked away or possibly lost.

A few days ago, I was in Denver and found myself crying in an art museum while surrounded by pink tulle. Here's why.

Heeey, new teacher!

Yes, this is really forking hard. No, it’s probably not supposed to be THIS hard. Although you can’t control most of it, you can make sure to drink water, eat your lunch, and take some breaks. Teaching’s a big deal, but you’re a big deal too!

Signed,
Your teacher big sister

Where is home? Where did my body find safety? Where do I find space to let my shoulders drop?

I’m mixed-race, which means I never fully fit into either background.

I’m a settler colonist where I live now.

I’m born and raised in a country that is waging a domestic terror campaign on people who look like me and share my lineage.

It feels… interesting to be deeply invested in a culture I have not only no connection to, but that, historically, did not seek to welcome me either. My body is not home there.

But this made me think: where/what would that place be?

A weird late-night thought apropos of nothing:

Being a (budding) Shakespeare scholar, it’s no shock I’m also an Anglophile. I’ll be going to the UK again this summer and I am so. Excited.

And

Year after year, I hear it more. Even from my youngest readers. "I hate reading." This post is about what to ask next — and a free tool to help. Link in comments.

Women and girls should be safe in movement work.

Holding gratitude and grief for Dolores Huerta’s dedication and bravery. Wishing she didn’t have to be so goddamned committed and brave.

Sending you and Hope so much love

Portrait of woman smiling while seated, wearing a dark green blouse, with handwritten-style notes and doodles around her introducing her roles and interests. The text identifies her as an educator, writer, scholar, creator, and mom. Notes mention she is half-Mexican and half-Filipina, a high school English teacher, a PhD English student, and a self-described “professional Shakespeare nerd.” Other captions say she is a former theatre kid turned teacher and creator, writes about education, inclusivity, culture, motherhood, and running, and is raising two energetic toddlers. Additional details share that she has run 20 marathons, once taught yoga, lives on iced coffee and Bad Bunny, believes many problems are solved by a run and a nap, eats a scoop of ice cream daily, and made the image while holding a toddler and singing “Gabby’s Dollhouse.” Blue doodles and icons decorate the page over a grid-paper background

Soooo helloooooo I’m going to my first #Shax2026 and I will be/should mostly be studying for my Areas exams the week after but if you will also be there I would love to connect as I pivot into my, “I am now researching a very niche and specific interest” part of my life 😆👋🏽 #Shakespeare

Chanea. 😅

Reverend Jesse Jackson is an ancestor now. The titans we studied in our history books are gone and we’re all we have left. We’re called to fight, but we’re also called to hope.

We’re our only hope.

Rest well, Reverend Jackson, and we’ll see you in the morning.

Pop star Bad Bunny needed a Puerto Rican history scholar. UW–Madison had just the one. Bad Bunny collaborated with UW–Madison history professor Jorell Meléndez-Badillo on Puerto Rican narratives that accompany the new album “DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS.”

Ty friend!!!

Really love this creative approach to sharing practice. @biblio-phile.bsky.social keeping up with the times! 👏🏾👏🏾

Do you use the warm demander approach to classroom management? High school teacher @biblio-phile.bsky.social shares 5 ways she applies it in her classroom. ☀️

To keep AI out of her classroom, this high school English teacher went analog Forth Worth teacher Chanea Bond says sticking with pen and paper keeps generative artificial intelligence out of her American literature classes.

It’s LABORIOUS.

It takes so much to make going analog work AND it’s worth it. It’s shifted the foundation of my teaching practice for the better, but not without a lot of thought, research, and reflection.

We’d love to hear your thoughts!!!

I'm honored to be working with a team of volunteers to raise awareness and action around two rule changes that have been proposed by HHS that could effectively make it impossible for transgender youth in the United States to get affirming, life-saving care. Time is running out to be heard..

Middle school and high school teachers, HS teacher @biblio-phile.bsky.social has a question for you: How do we get students to read more books? 📚️

Share your strategies or talk about the challenges you’ve faced when getting students to engage in longer texts—we’d love to hear your thoughts! #EdChat

A most random post: does anyone have "Critical Literacy in Action: Writing Words, Changing Worlds," by Ira Shor and Caroline Pari? If so, could you send me a PDF of the introduction? I am finding it surprisingly hard to find, but need it for my upcoming PhD exams. TIA!

That time of year again!

Holiday card collage featuring a family of four—two parents and two young children—posing and laughing together in multiple photos. The children wear festive red outfits, and the parents are dressed in coordinating neutral tones. The images show candid moments of smiling, hugging, and sitting together indoors. In the center, decorative text reads ‘Happy Holidays’ with ‘The Cawderys’ below, set on a green patterned background with festive accents.

Two young children crouch in shallow ocean water, focused on exploring the sandy bottom as gentle ripples move around their hands.

An adult stands barefoot in shallow tide pools holding hands with two young children as they look out over a rocky shoreline and calm ocean. The sky is bright blue, and the family appears to be exploring the water together.

Two young girls sit on the edge of a pool, bathed in bright sunlight. The girl on the left, wearing a pink and yellow swimsuit, smiles broadly with her eyes squeezed shut in delight. The girl on the right, sporting a Lion Guard-themed swimsuit and pink-rimmed goggles, strikes a confident pose with her hands on her hips and a playful grin. Behind them, a dark stone wall and tropical foliage frame the sunny patio setting.

Merry Christmas 🎄

You might remember our video from earlier this year exploring the benefits of nature journaling, with @biblio-phile.bsky.social breaking down the research! Well, after Christina created that video, she decided to try out nature journaling in her high school English classroom. 🌸✍️🌿
