Play-based learning can have a greater positive effect on the acquisition of early math skills than more traditional approaches. 🤸♂️

Move Over, Middle Grade: It’s Time for Young Teen Lit, a guest post by Christina Chatel and Marcia Kochel
This story begins with two middle school librarians, miles and miles apart, who both feel passionately that what publishers call middle grade literature is not what their students need or want.

Someone forgot to turn off the sprinklers this morning so keeping fourth graders off the icy grass felt a little like this scene from Jurassic Park. In Tucson, frozen grass is as close as we get to snow. 🤣 #teacherlife #edusky

Last week I thought I was losing my dad. Tonight he is home and getting to sleep in his own bed. I’m thankful to the doctors that pushed for surgery to stop the bleeding. Now we just wait for the biopsy results.

We are taking care of my dad’s dog while he is in the hospital. Our neighbors set off fireworks all night with grand finales at 12 and 1. It was excessive. We just spent an hour cleaning up our kitchen floor bc the poor pup had a few stinky accidents from all the stress.

Read the amount of books you want at your own pace. It’s not a competition. You get to choose how many and which books you want to read. Just reading what you enjoy is all that matters.

My dad is headed into surgery this morning. Send all good thoughts to him and his doctors. We are praying they will find the bleed and be able to stop it.

As a writer, I want to make a difference. Part of me kind of wants to create a lit mag that publishes work from disabled and chronically ill writers where the work showcases the realities of chronic illnesses and disabilities.

Is this a good idea? Yes? No? Thoughts?

So pup adoption plans going on hold. My dad was taken to the hospital this morning. Since I’m still not feeling good, can’t be with him. I just want him to be ok. His blood pressure was low and he’s had a bleeding issue since last week. They might have to give him a transfusion.

All I want for Xmas is to feel better and possibly adopt a new dog. We thought he was adopted but we missed their voicemail. So tomorrow we call to find out more and possibly meet him. He’s bigger than me at 115 pounds but a sweet golden. His name is Thor! If it’s meant to be, it will happen. 🐶
