Loving the positive energy and sense of a developing community I feel so far on BlueSky and in the #EduSky world.
Thanks to all who have been here for awhile building it and welcome to newcomers joining in.

With teacher gift season fast approaching, give an educator (or yourself if you’re an educator!) the gift of time with dozens of classroom poetry & storytelling activities that are photocopy classroom ready!

I love new planners! Using them consistently? Not so much! I’m trying again with an analog/paper planner to get more organized and up my productivity. This time? I got this! 😬

The struggle is REAL!
Overwhelm has reached epidemic proportions for educators.
It's possible that a few simple strategies and systems could change everything for you.

It’s not just what we say but how we make others feel. A quick check-in with a student, family member, friend, or colleague can brighten their day.

Remember, you are awesome, special, and unique. You make a difference!

Educators! I have no idea how, but my first book, #YouArePoetry is currently on sale for 12% off! Now you can have all the poetry activities, stories & support inside, but save enough to also get yourself your fave beverage to drink while you use it!
