My oldest daughter is making a big career change and is moving into the classroom. It's a brave move in these tough times. She is going to be a brillant teacher❤️
Please help her #clearthelist2025

Watching @BravoTopChef from season 1 makes you HYPER aware of inflation. "Feed 20 people a gourmet meal from Whole Foods for $100 - no problem!!"

School librarians/media specialists are the most generous, selfless, and collaborative humans on earth. #schoollibrarians
An impromptu, student-led book club popped up during a library visit today! @laurenTarshis

#nationallibrarianday I received some of the sweetest notes on National Librarian Day! I have the best job in education❤️ a 4th grader said that I "keep the books safe", I'm the "mother of all books" & "the library is a magical place". It doesnt get better!

The #breakfastclub is my movie. I was 15 when it came out, and my Wylie HS friends and I would recite the whole thing at Sonic on the weekends while we "cruised" a Texas town of 3500 people.
We were in awe of Bender @juddnelsonallive

I love this so much-
Read to your newborn. 📚
With hearing developing during the final months of gestation, it’s never too early to begin reading to your baby. And this mom is giving us an absolute master class in how to do it right.
Note first that she’s reading face-to-face. At this age (10 weeks), there is literally nothing more thrilling - or instructional - to your newborn than your face. Check out how intently focused baby is on mom’s voice and facial expressions.
Mom reads with expression and emotion, alternating between glances at the text and direct eye contact with her adoring audience of one.
And there is so much going on in that developing brain. Did you know that during the earliest years of life babies form new neural connections at an estimated 1 million per SECOND?
With these types of rich daily interactions, mom is setting her baby up for a lifetime of success.
Kudos to KelseyPaumer (IG) on this fantastic and educational 🎥 clip.

Just read "Trash to Treasure" by @ButtermilkRoad Chef Lisa Donovan in the new Garden & Gun. The green stuff was at every church potluck, and I still look for it at every funeral lunch. Maybe I should start taking it! Beautifully composed, soul-nourishing writing- thank you, Chef.

I'll admit it. As a teacher, I only read fun stuff in the summer- never PD books. Now as a #schoollibrarian, I am reading the new edition #WhenKidsCantRead by @KyleneBeers to support teachers and students and our campus literacy goals.
Y'all- it's SO GOOD!!
A DAUGHTER (I'm not allowed to say which one) and I are watching Fast and Furious 1 for the first time because she says we have "cultural blindness".
We are 10 min in, she asks,"is this like Pitch Perfect for dudes? Is this a riff off?" 😆

This book, over and over again, is my gateway to every 5th grader who proclaims to hate reading. I always get teary-eyed when they proclaim, "This is the first book I read at home without anyone making me!" Thank you @kwamealexander and Dawud Anyabwile.

Sharing authentic voices and the story of OKC's @ayannaNajuma and "original sit-inners" with students at Lakeview Intermediate. Thank you @scholastic Storyworks for the great video. @YukonDistrict #BlackHistoryMonth
First year 4-6 grade school librarian here-
#librarytwitter where do you buy your comic books? @kelseybogan you just blogged about this, and I'm inspired to beef up my collection. I have a few and they have clear covers, but I can't find the vendor. 🤷♀️
