A8: For me it's always about the willingness to try things new. I'm constantly seeking out ways to grow and learn to keep things interesting in hopes of adding something new that will hook a kid on reading for life! #TLSkyChat

A6: My colleague and I run our morning news. We incorporate a weekly segment with holidays, celebrations, etc. that students in our building recognize. Those students have the chance to be a part of that segment and share. It's been a great way to learn about each other!

A4: I kept trying to get students to come to the library over the summer. It wasn't working so I decided to bring the books to them. I fundraised and created the Title Wave Book Mobile that has travelled across our county the past 2 summers. #TLSkyChat

A3: I struggle saying "no" to things so I often overcommit myself. I've found that giving myself some space/time (maybe overnight) to reflect on whether the professional thing I am being asked to lead/do aligns with how I want to grow as an educator has given me a great deal of clarity. #TLSkyChat

A1: During book checkout today, a 3rd grader walked up to me and said that the had a suggestion of a book to purchase. It was a sequel to an original we had. The fact that he was interested enough in this book series AND felt comfortable to ask me to order it...PURE JOY.

So excited to get this book in my hands. Read alouds are what bring students joy and appreciation and @noveleffect.bsky.social brings that magic! Hoping for a book study with staff in my school next year. Add this to your TBR!

Yes to all of this. In particular, I love @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social's transparency around how his view of audiobooks + reading has evolved over time. That's called learning. And our world needs more people who are willing, eager even, to have their views changed by new/better information.
Do Audiobooks Count As Reading?

Yesterday we celebrated #WorldReadAloudDay! Classes around the building have been making it extra special today! @litworld and Scholastic StoryVoice allowed us to virtually “meet” a number of authors as well as become authors by using “Build a Story”.
