Moving this thread over from that other place! What I’m reading in 2025 (as always, a 50 book goal that I haven’t hit in awhile 🤣) so…here we go…
Sometimes as an elementary teacher, you’ve got brilliant high school friends like @heymrsbond.com and wonder if you can take their amazing lesson and scaffold it down to 2nd grade.
And it turns out to be so beautiful (I have the best friends for so many reasons)

By ratting on Jesse Ventura's unionization efforts, Hulk Hogan denied all of his coworkers, and generations of performers who came after him, insurance and a retirement fund, and in that, shares in responsibility for the early deaths of several other wrestlers.

If you are a school leader, promoting ideas that teachers shouldn’t be afraid to fail…
Just remember that we are evaluated every year. That weighs HEAVILY on some teachers and the risks they are willing to take.
Evaluations can be detrimental to us.

Sometimes I think about the dude who interviewed me for his podcast and because of pendulum swings never actually published mine 😂
(I talked about the practice of listening to kids read 1:1 because you not only build relationship by giving them individual time but see what they can do as a whole)

I know better than to put hot takes on threads 😂
But really in Kinder I had my kids put a bathroom pass on their desk and just go. They didn’t need to ask. I knew where they were and no one has been lost
So many teachers are so uncomfortable with even the tiniest ways of sharing control.

Imitation is not the sincerest form of flattery.
It's theft and I'm tired of mediocre copy paper people doing it to Black women.

Teachers on threads constantly complain about not being respected by parents…
And then talk so much trash about the families they serve 🤯

So many people argue this.
But ya’ll…the people who are in ultimately in charge of the curriculum in public schools are elected officials.
It’s all political.

Just your friendly neighborhood English teacher turned librarian here to remind you that literacy has always been political.

I just finished reading A Brush with Magic by @funaek.bsky.social to my 2nd grade class.
The last chapters and their cliff hangers had the kids gasping and yelling at me not to stop. A few kids want to borrow it to read it again ❤️

I’m so frustrated with the SPED services the kids in my class are receiving and it makes me want to go get my SPED endorsement but…
So many programs and people are deep in behaviorism and training kids like dogs and…I just can’t pay to sit through 6+ classes of that.

Welp, having a twitter moment on threads when I was just highlighting that different states have different requirements for teachers…and got a whole “well actually” novel about the cost of their teaching program.

I was not expecting to remotely relate to a character on White Lotus.
I had a best friend (and roommate) who went after the guy I was dating.
(Except, he went for it and they dated for quite awhile…)
