I had a great audience for today’s Kansas Library Association presentation on graphic novels. Tomorrow I am moderating a panel discussion. It’s always fun to see my library colleagues from the state. #tlsky #graphicnovels @comicsatsdsu.bsky.social

Thanks to Kareem Between author @shifasaltagisafadi for sending free bookmarks for each student!

Students have been writing to their pen pals in Sweden for Global Read Aloud. When I found some Swedish/Finnish candy at IKEA, I couldn’t resist getting enough for everyone to taste. #gra2025 #tlsky

I’m enjoying listening to this new book from one of my favorite authors. His writing is beautiful and can break your heart and make you laugh out loud in equal measures. #reader #audiobooks

I purchased a $5 cutlery holder from Dollar Tree and gave my library coloring station a glow up. There are four round compartments with a rectangular compartment in the middle that is just the right size for bookmarks and half-sheet word searches. #tlsky #edusky #coloringstation

If you love children’s lit, you might be interested in these cute t-shirts available at Wal-Mart. I already had Frog and Toad and I just added Where the Wild Things Are. #tlsky #edusky #childrenslit #classics

I’m 20 minutes into this audiobook and my understanding of the world has already shifted. I can tell this book’s accolades are well-deserved. #nonfiction #themoreyoureadthemoreyouknow #howdowsthisbookmakemebetter

I learned so much at the Kansas Leadership Center’s “When everyone leads” training. Sessions were informative and engaging, and I met some great people had a lot of interesting conversations. Thanks to the Kansas Library Association for the scholarship to attend. #tlsky

In my new @aaslala.bsky.social Knowledge Quest blog article, I share about the impact of my teacher study trip to Germany. There is nothing quite like standing in the exact place where history happened to give it new meaning. #aaslkq #tlsky #censorship #freedomtoread

Our school was awarded a grant to buy books so our whole K-6 school can participate in the Global Read Aloud. We’re excited to partner with other classes around the world reading the same books. I can’t wait to see all the connections we make. 🌎 📚 @theglobalreadaloud.bsky.social #GRA2025

Finished library orientation with 4th grade today. Tried the library map activity shared in @aaslala.bsky.social's Knowledge Quest blog. Readers had a great time reading the clue sheet & marking the locations on the map. Active, engaging & practical. #SchoolLibrary #TLSky

Our faculty meeting was followed by a scavenger hunt around the school to find our gifts: a new staff shirt, a book for our book study, and other fun gifts. Looking forward to a great year! #tlsky #edusky
