Book 30: Mathematics for Human Flourishing by Francis Su.
I was a little intimidated because I’ve struggled with math since early childhood (for many reasons outlined in this book!). This book is causing some change to my math teaching!

Book 29: Wondrous Words by Katie Wood Ray and Stella Villalba
I have so many ideas and had my brain spark in so many ways while reading this. There are so many ideas for writing workshop (specifically around using mentor text) in here and…it’s awesome. Highly recommend!

It came from this lesson! bsky.app/profile/heym...
I started the day with a journal prompt. About community. Students study the prompt and write for 5 mins. Then they get in groups and share.

Book 28: the September prompt for the reading challenge I do is translated literature and I finished it early.
Minor Detail by Adania Shibli is so beautifully written but really hard to read. It felt like such an important book.

Book 27: Oh Crap! Potty Training by Jamie Glowacki
Lots of great info and I love that it wasn’t rewards based (because I don’t go that route).
