Picked up my copy that I pre-ordered and was surprised to get this “rare” unsigned copy. I think it’s the only unsigned @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social book I own. Made me chuckle! Excited to read!
Hello #EduSky it’s double donation day on #DonorsChoose use code LevelUp to support projects. Here’s mine: Help me give my students snacks that will fuel their bodies and their brains. www.donorschoose.org/project/snac...
So very true. I’m better at using tech tools than most of my students on a daily basis because I work hard to use them for my work products. But in the classroom we are using paper more and more. And I’m one of the older teachers in the building.
It’s giving Tuesday and I have a new #DonorsChoose project up. All donations are matched today! bit.ly/4gfFc2a #EduSky
A5: we have a department that is working together to help learners do well with the curriculum we have designed for them, but with them in mind. This is the first year in many that it feels like a cohesive team working together. #aplitchat
A4: having watched my own kids grow up through the system I see how teacher expectations varied from person to person, year to year and that is really difficult for some students. I think moving to more classroom based work and projects could help all students be more successful #aplitchat
A3: There is always a place for direct instruction, but it has a place beside many other options for instruction. The amount of direct instruction in my room is minimal because that isn’t how I have found to be most effective for me and my learners #aplitchat
A2: where are the solutions to these problems brought to light? If we don’t present solutions when we share there are problems it just seems whiny. #aplitchat
A1: who do we think is truly reading this? When the audience already agrees with/knows the info it doesn’t really help. The publication has a broad reach, but who is reading critically? #aplitchat
WU not over break, but finally am getting close to finishing Martyr. I’ve just been reading during SSR at school so it’s slow going #aplitchat
So good to see you again! #aplitchat
I’m so out of practice 🤦🏻♀️
Hi I’m Kelley from Indiana. I teach all levels of Juniors including APLit. My college kids are still home so they may get my attention tonight, but I have missed #APLitchat so much!
Hey! Glad to see you here. #EduSky is a great place to meet people
Bryan Stevenson at NCTE 2024
Heading home from NCTE full of inspiration and ideas (and a good dose of exhaustion). Rounded out the experience with a keynote from Bryan Stevenson that was everything you would expect from him and then multiply it by 10! Until the next time #ncte24 #EduSky
Kate McKinnon at NCTE
Day 2 of #NCTE was packed with learning and friends and all the good ideas wrapped up in one package! Kate McKinnon’s endearingly funny keynote was one of my favorites. “In moments when I’ve found the courage to be authentic I’ve been met with love” #EduSky
Ketanji Brown Jackson at NCTE 2024
Amazing to hear from Ketanji Brown Jackson last night and to know that we are “the vanguards of the next generation”! For the little girl Kelley who dreamt of one day being a Supreme Court Justice and then realized law wasn’t quite for me this was a beautiful keynote! #NCTE #EduSky

Excited to head to #NCTE tomorrow and see some of my favorite people in person!
Large crocheted pumpkin
I love “Roman Fever”! One of my all time favorites! And I thought learning to crochet would help with empty nest. It has. But I’ve only finished one really large pumpkin.
