High School English Teacher on the coast of GA 📚 #APLang 📖 #APLit ✏️ #NCTE📝#ELA
Our seniors haven’t graduated in their home stadium in yrs. We outgrew that field/school by leaps & bounds. I’ve always wanted to take my #aplit class to the stadium to write about their hopes and goals in the place where they will walk across the stage for graduation & here we are! New school Day1!

This is happening. All 858 pages. It’s not like I start pre-planning for school on Tuesday or anything.

“The cluttered attic. Most of the past.” When people leave us- children grow up, parents die, houses sell, families move- what do we keep? The “static” remains- joy and grief intertwined. #PoemADayJuly
“What is static if not the sound of the universe’s grief?”
Our #PoemADayJuly today: “Places With Terrible Wi-Fi” by J. Estanislao Lopez
Maybe a bit different than the “poems” you’re used to but SO much within this gem to explore.
So let’s explore! 🔍

“Giving has many faces: It is loud and quiet”
"One river gives / Its journey to the next."
Today for #PoemADayJuly? a poem about giving and, in talking about giving, potentially and probably and inevitably about so much more:
"When Giving Is All We Have" by Alberto Ríos

I’m happy to share this new @edutopia.org piece on creating short comics to read poetry more closely and spark writing.
And it just happened to come out at the start of #PoemADayJuly (which I hope you’ll consider jumping in on!)

Buckle up, friends. 2025 is slithering our way. But we have each other. We have love and poetry and history and laughter and world-quaking imaginations. We’ll get through this, too. ✊🏻❤️

Not my best year, but I had a lot going on. My number one read was James by Percival Everett with March, The God of Small Things, and Prophet Song among the top. I’ve got high hopes for you 2025!

@folgerlibrary.bsky.social Folger Edu sessions at #NCTE24 reminded me of my time at the Summer Teacher Academy/Othello 2018 with Peggy O’Brien, Debbie Gascon, Amber Phelps - An experience that will FOREVER help me connect kiddos with ANY complex text. ELA teachers, if you get the opportunity— GO!

I am absolutely inspired by my #NCTE24 experience! So many ideas, thoughts, plans in my head all because of the great educators who shared their time and talents. And keynote Bryan Stevenson??? Oh, he reminds me that there is hope!!!

Today we shared a selected poem for K12 Lit #ela readings & we connected, enjoyed, wondered with the sounds & sense. So good. One of the student’s shared choices here, new for me. I love this. www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/143241...
When I Grow Up I Want to Be a List of Further Possibilities
