Instead of choosing one word for the new year, I always choose a poem. This one is by Mary Oliver. I know there will be storms this yearโ€” challenges, tough decisions. But I always want to make sure I remember whatโ€™s important.

I am truly grateful for the public library. I love to read and would not be able to read nearly as many books as I do without the public library. I check them out to use with students as well. Audiobooks, digital books, physical books. They have it all.

One of my favorite days in teaching. My students are getting books, hot chocolate and a stuffed animal. Canโ€™t wait to see their faces. #edusky

#ditchsummit Hollyโ€˜s session really resonated with me. I teach kindergarten so I never really thought about incorporating lessons on AI. But it will become something imperative to their critical literacy skills. I was inspired.

This is the time of year I survey my students and parents to see if we need to adjust anything. My students apparently think we donโ€™t have enough class pets.๐Ÿคฃ

The Red State Brain Drain Isnโ€™t Coming. Itโ€™s Happening Right Now. As conservative states wage total culture war, college-educated workersโ€”physicians, teachers, professors, and moreโ€”are packing their bags.

Texas teachers are quitting at a rate thatโ€™s 25 percent above the national average. In Tennessee, the vacancy rate for all public schools is 5.5 percent, compared to a national average of 4 percent.

It is very important to me that my students get experience navigating different kinds of technology beyond the reading and math programs we use daily. We wrote our first digital stories! They illustrated what they were thankful for and we put it together in a little video that they narrated.
