Happy Thanksgiving! I was lucky enough to be the winner or loser, depending how you look at it, of our school's Turk-A-Teacher & I got to spend all Wednesday before break in a Turkey costume.

I had so much fun sharing about @noveleffect.bsky.social with students & families at Family Literacy Night. There is NOTHING like watching the faces of people when you begin to read with Novel Effect there are so many smiles & laughs! If you have not tried Novel Effect it is a MUST try!

Yep... another school shooting & here I am posting this again for the 2nd time this year. We're only in the beginning of school. This time it hit close to home in a friend's school district. When are we going to protect children. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

Image of teacher and students huddled together, hiding with a poem over the image. A Teacher’S Poem Ronald M. Nober I’ve trained and prepared to lead my team, my squad into the unknown. My god I look at them so young, so innocent, but we know we must be ready. I’ve practiced with them evading, eluding line of site, and detection. The team knows the warnings, alerts, and when we can safely emerge. The team knows that stealth is our only weapon to avoid the dangers. I hear politicians say they hold us in their hearts and send us their thoughts and prayers. I survey the area looking for cover, evaluating the danger, and drill our tactics with the team. I monitor people I see looking for signs, subtle signs for those who may wish us harm, fearing it could be anyone I see.

Same image of teacher and students huddled together. Poem continues. I look to the our country’s leaders for help, some support, anything of substance they can offer. Maybe nothing is possible, maybe they aren’t aware of what we face, or could it be they really don’t care. I’ve prepared for worst case scenario learning to pack and dress wounds of war in hope it can save lives. I go over and over battles in my mind knowing I am prepared to lay down my life to save those in my charge, like many in my position have done. Well...this is life in the military? Well...this is life as a soldier? Well...this is life in war? In combat? In a battle zone? NO

Same image of teacher and students with the end of the poem. This is the life of a teacher in OUR schools? SADLY...Welcome to our schools.

I wrote this poem a few years ago after a school shooting. I posted to social media, hoping I would never have to post it again. But, sadly, knowing deep down I probably would. So...here it is AGAIN.

Thanks so much!

I have looked for a place to purchase Banana Plugs but can't seem to find them. Do you have a source for them?

Since I left X, I use Instagram the most. I like the visual, but there isn't the same connection that there was on Twitter. I plan to try and be more active here in the upcoming school year.

I agree. I miss the days when Twitter WAS the app. I think there are too many different options here, X, and Threads.

Here's a new one to add. It is written & beautifully illustrated by @mrdearybury.bsky.social. It's called THE RAINBOW TREE, a beautiful story of love, acceptance, community, and caring. A great book to start the school year.

I used this a lot in years past. The amount of leaning that goes on with this assignment is amazing. Writing, speaking, planning, and editing. I got to learn so much about my students through this assignment.
Highly Recommend It!

What joy it brought me this morning when I went out to meditate and this little one was suctioned to the window. Nature is a refuge & Sangha. So happy they were there to breathe & meditate with me.

Hey all you #eduskychat and #edusky folks The TeacherNerdz are back with an awesome new episode.
open.spotify.com/show/1R19Of8...

A comic book-style illustration features a muscular, bearded man with glasses surfing on a red surfboard. He wears a green T-shirt that reads “SAVE THE OCEAN” and red shorts. The scene is set against a vibrant tropical background with blue skies, palm trees, and crashing ocean waves. The artwork uses bold lines and halftone shading to give it a classic comic book look. The man is smiling and giving a thumbs-up, portraying him as an energetic and environmentally conscious surfing instructor.

The @teachernerdz.bsky.social are BACK! We're kicking things off with an episode featuring Dave Werner! This educator, surf school owner, and environmental champion is sharing his wisdom on how you can empower your students to become environmental stewards.

Available now on all podcast platforms!

When it's CRAZY HAIR DAY at school and this guy commits to it all the way!

And nope that's not a bald cap!

What Spaces can do with & for students is amazing, & the awesome teacher tools.
I created a virtual Mr. Nober so students can "chat" with me. I've found out so much about my kiddos. Learned about pets passing, hard times they're having, interests, & successes. Let me know if you have any questions.

Oh yeah, I do @bookcreator.com that would be awesome if you share the remix. I'll be sure to tag you to show you some of the student videos when finished.
Really appreciate your generosity.

I absolutely love this. I do a poem to video lesson with my 3rd grade students. Do you mind if I use this template?
Thank you so much for sharing.
