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

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 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

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

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
