Thank you and Happy New Year !

That'd be cool! #tlap

Good luck! But mostly have a lot of fun presenting! Wish I could be there- #tlap

Maybe auto send reminders to students and parents to attend school- (attendance is a concerning problem)- maybe send a self-driving car to pick up elementary kids :) #tlap Who knows what the future holds?

Hey #tlap!!! We just released a HIGHLY RECOMMENDED #ai project from @beckykeene.com!!

A4 The AI assistant would do all of the busy work stuff like answering emails, making copies, etc. But I would love it if it could in real life shave off pounds gained from eating ice cream :) #tlap

🤣😂🤣😀
That was a totally LOL moment! You described life perfectly! #tlap

I've never thought about AI in that way. Having AI know me better than I know me is a potential scary thought. LOL Talk about seeing right through you- great for reflecting, I suppose. #tlap

You got it!!! #tlap

I wonder if AI can be or used to match people. ???? #tlap

A2 I think I'm still in awe by how quickly things can be generated. I've always enjoyed writing jingles and chants to help kids learn and now it's sooo fast! #tlap I'm just at the tip of the ice berg :)

Hello #tlap A little late- I'm here in Utah near Salt Lake City. Loving summer and lemonade! Mmmm But love the comments about ice cream and BBQ too!

I owe you so much! I appreciate YOU! 👍🏼

Thank you #tlap! Y'all the BEST!

A4 I teach in a Title 1 school. There are a lot of kids experiencing trauma. One student expressed through her writing/art her fears about her dad being released from prison. She was afraid that her mom would be beaten again. Tear jerker!!! #tlap

Totally agree! Which is why my heart breaks when teachers say they have no time to include music, art, poetry into their lessons. Hogwash! You can integrate anything and it'll be 10 times better and more engaging! #tlap

Me too! AI is pretty cool and really fast but I still like the old fashioned brainstorming and writing down what pops in my head. Both make me giggle! #tlap

Book cover of You are Poetry

A3: Hey!! We have a WHOLE book on powerful ways to implement poetry across the curriculum!! #YouArePoetry by @mr-m-johnston.bsky.social !!!

A3 I love to have kids write poetry where they don't necessarily have to worry about rhyming. A lot of raw, emotional words seem to pop from the pages! #tlap

Absolutely! #tlap Same with adults showing what they're learning about their practice and what they're improving.

A2 Students are more motivated when they choose how to show what they're learning. It's from a place of strength. Lots to celebrate! #tlap

I'm glad you had support from your teachers. It takes a village to raise kids! I always appreciated people that showed they cared by going the extra mile. #tlap

LOVE this! #tlap

Absolutely! Baseball games, dance recitals, etc. outside of school opens a lot of doors! #tlap

It's painful right now! LOL #tlap

I started keeping a journal when I was 11. I've let kids read my journals (pretty much about cute boys LOL). That has made kids feel safe to share their own adventures. #tlap

Hello #tlap I'm Sandy, an IC joining from Utah (about 30 min. from SLC. This is our last week of school. (Finally! LOL) Between my dog, my Siamese cat (the queen of the house) and kids at school, I'm laughing all of the time! Just can't think right now of the latest funniest funny.

Glad I was able to jump in for a minute 😄 Thanks #tlap! Y'all always inspire me to be better!
