I am curious with how you manage the diamond art? And how it is put out for students...I experimented with it last school year, and I just ended up with the base covered in lint and the small pieces everywhere! #TLSkyChat
I have a suggestion box on my desk from Amazon, it was about $10. Students can use it to request books, games, activities, etc. Might be a good paper option for you.
Decided to put some of my #sljsummit takeaways right into action and experimented with @adobeexpress.bsky.social after @thenextgenlib.bsky.social recommendation...not too bad of a learning curve-excited to try it with students next. #TLSky #EduSky

As seen in the Las Vegas airport. Perfect for flying home from #sljsummit
Probably because Mt. Rushmore only has 4 presidents featured on it, making Dolly the 5th and thus honorary member.
1. That's awesome you had that experience 2. I use it as a call to action to try within my world to be as kind as possible and to spread joy. But I definitely worry too.
Didn't know it was possible to 🩷 @mychal3ts.bsky.social more-he talked about his ideal Mt Rushmore of kindness, including: Mr. Rogers, Levar Burton, Steve Irwin, Bob Ross & honorary member Dolly Parton - humble as ever, he forgot himself, #TLsky how are you breaking stigmas with your Ss? #sljsummit
Personally, this has been a year of me trying to take up more space..as a librarian I strive to create spaces for my Ss to do the same. #sljsummit #tlsky #edusky

Challenge accepted Steve! I'm going to try to pursue this in the new year.
The struggle for me with LEGO's is how to incorporate them when space is limited, but I'd love to see how my Ss respond to community builds. Thanks!

Donna Gray and @captainlibrary.bsky.social at #sljsummit in Marketing the Library, encouraged us to consider how we encourage students to be a fuller version of themselves through programming. Any insights? I try to create lowstake spaces to facilitate the sharing of ideas. #sljsummit #TLsky

Everylibrary is honestly one of the best organizations around and have been so helpful to libraries and librarians. When people ask how they can help I always tell them to donate to this great organization @everylibrary.bsky.social #TLSky #EduSky #sljsummit
Such an inspiring speaker!
Besides the awesome pd, I seek out conferences for moments like this. Books have saved me time and time again. Thanks for sharing your story @mrschureads.bsky.social #sljsummit #TLsky #EDUsky - see you at CSLA in January.
Thanks! Congrats on making AASL conference committee, I think you're working with my for friend Mia?
Gearing up for my first #sljsummit! In the meantime, it's been fun exploring Raleigh, NC.
