At today's #NCTE25 Closing Session, we bid a fond farewell to Tonya B. Perry as #NCTE President, welcomed Antero Garcia to the helm, and heard from Robin Wall Kimmerer about teachers' role in helping students to recognize, reciprocate, and tell stories about earthly gifts.

#NCTE25 in Denver showed a growing body of work around climate justice in English classrooms, K-20.
There were also many bitter sweet 😢moments remembering the work and spirit of Dr. Sheridan Blau. His one-of-kind personality touched many, and his work lingers large

It seems like the trees in CT are almost done shedding their leaves this season, just as we wrap up #WriteOut. As the song goes,
“The leaves have fallen all around.
Time I was on my way.
Thanks to you. I’m much obliged.
Such a pleasant stay.”
Thanks @writingproject.bsky.social for a great year.

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

Female Cardinals don’t get enough love #WriteOut
Day 10 - #WriteOut ... Didn't Have a Lot of Time to Appreciate the Outdoors But Did Catch a Bird or Two on My Roof (Perhaps they were searching for poetry, too)

I love this idea of wonder walkers. Here’s my rainy wonder walk.
My wonders:
🍁Is the wind leaf’s transportation?
🐜Is a puddle an ant’s ocean?
💧Is the rain a drought’s just response?
