White Lotus - let’s goooooo

Struggling with making it through the year? @briansztabnik.bsky.social and I share what helps us not only make it through the year but make this career not just manageable but enjoyable.

Thanks @susangbarber.bsky.social . It is an honor to share a hall with you 🥹

Wishing you a magnificent Monday! ❤️ (Inspiration via educator @susangbarber.bsky.social )

Good morning! #amwriting with @briansztabnik.bsky.social

Beautiful night in the ATL!

Last Sundays in Plains is simply beautiful - highly recommend! #jimmycarter

Highly recommend Prophet Song if you have not read it. This interview is spot on.

The language in this title is to incite fear, make educators the enemy, and undermine the very heart and soul of what happens in our classrooms.

I like to listen to classical music while I work so it’s currently blaring through our speakers. What do you do to cue your mind for work?

I hope you’ll consider joining me for a conversation around AI and writing instruction, live or recorded. ✅ varied perspectives welcome ✅ no infomercial enthusiasm ✅ no fear mongering ✅ actionable classroom ideas movingwriters.org/2025/01/13/a...

Teachers: Make an effort to say every student’s name at least once today. I know in MS/HS this gets tougher, but let’s try and see how it goes?

@susangbarber.bsky.social and I have lasted as long as we have in the classroom because we know what is important to us. Here are 25 things we value in 2025. muchadoaboutteaching.com/25-things-te...

This was a great way for @briansztabnik.bsky.social and I to think through what we value and gear up for a new semester. What would you add? Or even better, make your own list of 25 and share out.

Happy Friday, friends!! Enjoy the weekend! #feetupfriday

My 4A is reading Hamlet with southern accents and I am 💀

Very moving afternoon at the MLK memorial. #mlk

It’s go time for Hamlet.

They did a great job with this photo! 👏🥰 New Photo From President Carter's Funeral

Snow days are like society saying “it’s okay, take a break to rest and play.” ❄️

Happy #feetupfriday from Atlanta! Piedmont Park is magical today.

There’s no bread, milk, or Coke products in Atlanta’s grocery stores: we are fully prepped for tomorrow’s snow.

I have been really slow to respond to this but here goes . . .

Mindset for the upcoming week! Welcoming back returning students, teachers, and staff. #EduSky @susangbarber.bsky.social

Good morning! #amwriting

During the first 5 (ish) years of my teaching career, I tried to save children. Of course, that didn't go well. Eventually, I put my cape away and just taught them instead. Things worked out better.
