I've been reading some spooky books to see if any are worth adding to our high school library's collection. THIS is the one. Actually creepy, scary, AND plenty of gore. We Kept Her in the Cellar by W.R. Gorman. 📚

They're perpetually the victim, and yet they can never imagine themselves on the business end of the kind of violence they casually imply every day.

I'm trying something different this year: A book subscription box! Each month will have a different theme, and up to 10 kids can sign up each month. Students will get two books from the theme, a bookmark, a button, and some other swag. We're kicking off the school year with Manga and Graphic Novels!

I attended a birthday party with my daughter today, but my thoughts were also with folks attending other events. I hope everyone was/is staying safe and spending time in good company!

Yasssss! She's coming to a neighboring town for a concert this summer, but I don't know if I can splurge for the tickets!

Thank you for sharing! I pulled it up and saw that my favorite kids' consignment shop is on there. 😭

We've been doing a lot of the Unlock games with our 9 year old son lately, and he asked about trying a real escape room. We found one about an hour away that's tailored to kids. It was our first one and we all had a blast! We can't wait to try another one.

I'd heard of the Jujutsu Kaisen manga series last year, but it didn't sound appealing, nor do I really love manga. However, I've now fallen in love with it and am kicking myself for not picking it up sooner! 🩵📚#booksky

I was using my phone to fill out a survey for our new super on GenAI. When I got to the end, there was a short answer section for the question "What concerns do you have about student use of GenAI?" I had to ditch my phone and move to the laptop for that one.

Pretty short story. I started reading middle grade and YA books as part of a book award committee. Helped me learn about lots of different kinds of people, and I imagined them all as potential students that could enter my classroom.

"Did you use AI?"
Not always the best first question.
Try: “How did you start this assignment?”
“What tools helped you brainstorm?”

These small shifts can open big conversations about AI in the classroom 💬 #EduSky #AiEDU #EdTech

We usually don't see the bluebirds until the mealworms are put out later in the month or even May. It was so nice to see them on this rainy, icy day!

I started taking steel pans lessons at our high school. It's got to be one of the happiest instruments in the world!

They'll put a different label on it or use different wording and bury it at the bottom of a much larger budget/proposal and hope nobody notices.

Oh my gosh, what a fantastic service! I just checked it out and there are so many options! It gave me the name of one person I could connect with, which I plan on doing. Thank you!

Do I have any friends out there who are library cataloging experts? I'm working on some MARC record practice for a class and could use some explanation on things I'm getting wrong. 📚
