I had an opportunity to experience my first Educator Spring Open House at the Heinz History Center the evening before our Pittsburgh area’s big storm. I loved experiencing the archive room —the Detre Library & Archives is free for all visitors and a great resource for teachers.

📸 of my desk on a week in early Spring:
Students spelling /ar/ words in “A Starry Night” after explicit instruction.
