Ms. Q in the library

love this idea, thanks for sharing!

a homemade costume of a teacher’s desk with a large anthropomorphic sandwich on top

at sone point I’ll ask one of my students to help me take a picture of me WEARING it, but here’s Mr. S, by popular demand 😂

even without any context, I fully agree, shenanigans abound in just a few minutes with Canva 😂

love this checklist! (and of course the comment at the bottom ❤️)

arghh I both love and hate when that happens!

I’m thinking Drama continues to draw attention because it overlaps into elementary AND middle school collections, but it IS fascinating!

the book cover for Monica Arnaldo’s book “Mr. S”, featuring smiling children and a giant anthropomorphic sandwich on a teacher’s desk

“but Ms. Q, you ALWAYS dress as a character from a book” 🥺
the book they chose:

a sandwich stacked on top of each other with lettuce tomatoes and ham Alt: a sandwich stacked on top of each other with lettuce tomatoes and ham

tinkering with it as we speak. sigh. the things i let my students talk me into.

😂 when my friend also became a elem school librarian and asked me for advice, I told her: “I don’t think there’s any way to prepare you for the level of celebrity you’ll be facing”
…and a year later she admitted that even with my warning, she was not, in fact, prepared 😳😂

I’m always genuinely fascinated by these peeks into the “author world”✍️

I’ve always thought this would make a great math project/word problem for students, too!

i do say it like everyone else has also replied (huh-MODGE-en-us) buuut… I *have* heard some people say homo-JEEN-yus, and i do have to admit it pairs nicely with hetero-JEEN-yus 🤷🏻‍♀️

(if it wouldn’t scare my littles, that is)

my library has a 17ft ceiling and i would LOVE to prop a 12ft buddy in one of my corners 😂

same, in the kitchen! 😂
my most embarrassing: opening oven, sliding out rack to remove cookies, dropping mitt, bending down, and BURNING MY FOREHEAD ON THE OVEN RACK 🤦🏻‍♀️
colleague, that week: “ooh, was this a curling iron mishap?”
me: “uh, sure, let’s go with that.”

…aaaand while it never actually scared me into NOT being barefoot, I’m forever remembering the scolding, as I have managed to burn/bruise/cut my feet ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS 🤦🏻‍♀️

oh nooo! my mom would always scare us with a story of “you should never cook barefoot, my cousin once spilled an entire pasta pot of boiling water on her feet!”

this is so exquisitely Argentine

oof, dehydration-related seizures happening on my watch during recess duty is a horror I’ll never burn out of my brain - I’m absolutely the annoying adult nagging students (and colleagues) with ARE YOU ALL DRINKING ENOUGH WATER??

one of my favorite readalouds with my library students, and *I* still laugh every time I read it

loved sharing this book with my students ❤️
whew, what different kinds of discussions this might spark with kiddos today!

usually in my couch cushions 😑

oooh, she looks like an ERONDÍNA to me, but I just named my new car BETTY last month, I might not give the best car-christening advice 😂

oh NOOOOOOOO

thank you for sharing this, i needed to hear it today

I just checked: I am 494th, 649th, and 2,914th at my 3 local libraries, playing the which-one-will-be-ready-first game 😂

currently on my Libby holds! thanks for the reminder of why I put it there! (the whole “wait-why-did-i-put-this-on-hold-i-have-no-memory-of-this” is… a problem for me 🤣)

absolutely love the “So On and So Forth”!

ok but Fabio is an AMAZING name for a giant tortoise

I love the *astonished* face with the “whoa, it wasn’t like that when I had it in my hands a minute ago!”
yep, absolutely wild 😑🤪

this looks amazing!!
thanks for sharing!
