I’m part of a Fulbright Teacher Exchange program and will spend two weeks abroad in the spring/summer. Where will my field experience be? I will find out in three weeks!!! It could be South America, Asia, Africa… I’m so excited! ✈️ #FulbrightTeach #Fulbright #tlsky #globaleducation

Today I gave a presentation on place-based learning for teachers and librarians. The recording will be available soon and I will share the link if you’d like to watch. I talked about my PD trips to Ethiopia, Germany, San Diego, and Washington, DC, and how YOU can apply. #tlsky #placebasedlearning

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

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

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

Last summer I got to attend the amazing San Diego Comic-Con as part of a teacher institute on teaching with comics. This summer I'm bringing the whole family! We're taking a road trip and our youngest daughter will fly to San Diego from her summer internship in Pennsylvania to join the fun. #SDCC25

I enjoyed spending time on Zoom this evening speaking to a graduate school class about programming ideas for elementary-age kids in school and public libraries. The professor and students asked excellent questions. #tlsky

Our VIP White House Tour yesterday was incredible! We spent two hours on a tour led by staff from the curator’s office and we met several staff members of the residence. Such a cool experience! Thanks to the White House History Teacher Institute! #WHHTI25 #tlsky #edusky #summerpd

24 educators from across the country have gathered for the WHHTI (White House History Teacher Institute). Had a great day of learning and activities. Visited to the fantastic People’s House interactive museum.
