Lovely! This kinda looks like it might be faster than traditional embroidery. Do you think it is?

Tell your CA State Senator to support SB478. It’s time for California to do more than lip service in support of book access. Let’s do this basic function and get a library lead to help push for equal access across California. CA kids deserve better. tinyurl.com/supportsb478

The data is clear. All CA students need & deserve equal access to school libraries with current collections curated by trained librarians. We need a state level library lead to help erase access disparity. CA limits our kids’ access to books without even widespread banning.

I try to tell people whenever it comes up, and it seems to work for most minor burns. Let me know!!

This may sound weird, but toothpaste after a burn like that soothes it and helps prevent blisters. Just basic white toothpaste slathered over it and left alone to dry. Leave it on for a few hours. Ask me how I know. 🤦🏻♀️

Amazing that these two guys are mentioned in the same thread. They both attended the middle school I work in.

I’m pretty sure that’s what we both do already.

We have so many societal reasons for the literacy problem and no collective will to do the right thing. All of the big movements in education during my career so far seemed to have only made it worse.

Yes, my great teachers changed my life. No question. My parents never read, so I didn’t have that model at home. I became a teacher to do the same. Now I am a librarian to learn how to have reach across the whole school. This work is so important. I just hear Maryanne Wolf speak; it was inspiring.

If public libraries could find ways to get kids reading grades 3-8 with people in their branches, they would be helping us out in the schools a lot. So many kids in middle grades are reading below a 3rd grade level and just need more time and attention they they can get at school.

With regard to the librarian’s role. Beyond collection development and marketing, kids need to read with people. They need to hear good readers while they follow along, and they need to read aloud to people who will listen and encourage them.

We read through many Newberry winners each year in the 80s in my elementary school as a whole class. I have noticed a serious shift in how kids are being taught today. There is a much greater focus on short texts and treating the text as a job to get through.
