My daughter (10) and I both got embroidery kits for Christmas. She said it feels like we should have a parlour to sit in while we do it. 🤣

A wonderful opportunity!

Thank you for sharing this! Just this morning I was preparing PL for some new teachers and want to include a section on professional boundaries.

Walking down my driveway marvelling at the beauty that comes from 40cm of snow.

Not surprised! This book is amazing.

The graphic novel version of Kindred is beautiful. There’s a section at the back where the illustrator discusses their artistic process and choices.

Day 1/20

I spent the most inspiring day with middle school literacy learning teams. Teacher-directed, professional learning inquiry cycles with pedagogical documentation sprinkled all around. 💙 @angelastockman.bsky.social #documentation #collectiveefficacy

I always make King’s Landing Toffee - boiled butter and brown sugar topped with chocolate. What else could you want?!🤤

I’m so glad! Felt like I was cheating on GoodReads for a while, but I love it. 💙📚

Finished delivering some December joy to some deserving teachers today. #books #morejoy

Home from #CEL24 and even with just 4 hours of sleep I’m heading to work because I have so many ideas from all the geniuses I was privileged to learn from. #literacyleaders
