Sick again, so I’m reposting this article about being sick and missing school as a teacher. Luckily it’s just nasal congestion and should pass quickly, but even one day away feels like too much. #TeacherLife #SickDay #RestAndRecover #EduSky #Substack

I loved what Ada Limon had to say about writer's block in her talk at #NCTE24 today: "It is not so much that you don't have anything to say; it's that you have so much to say."

We have to take time to sort through the overwhelmingness of it all, time to let one good idea at a time shine through.

To kick off #CEL24, @caroljago.bsky.social engages us on “Challenged and Challenging Texts and Teaching.” Being in conversation with other literacy leaders is invigorating and pushes me to know and do better.
