Still time to register. Hope to see you on Monday. I’ll be sharing a lot of resources - many free - that I use in my own classroom to spark conversations about civics and the constitution.

Feeling especially grateful today. Finished filing taxes -getting to put down income I have received for teaching with comics work will never cease to astound me. I am truly grateful for the opportunities I have been given. My younger self would never have believed this possible. Follow your dreams.

Sometimes, the best friend/teacher/parent we can be is to allow the feeling to happen and just be there. We’ve earned our feelings and need to not allow toxic positivity to negate this authenticity.

I feel the same as Phoebe some days. Tired defending comics as literature and β€œreal” reading to some naysayers. Nuh-uh will have to suffer for today! I love the Phoebe and Her Unicorn series!

Working on some slides for several upcoming speaking engagements on teaching with comics. I have been teaching for over 25 years - I share tested lessons and ideas from my classroom.
