Passionate librarian. Lover of kid lit, cats and kids. Trying to write the great American MG novel.
Hope you can help my students bridge the gap from learning to read to reading to learn. That critical stage can be supported with audio and audio/text combination books. Thanks for your help!

Can’t stop thinking about this idea of orphaned responsibility of reading right around 3rd grade, exactly when state testing becomes such an intense focus. Lots if work to be done in changing this script

My third graders loved hearing this story combined with Common Sense Media lesson This Is Me. We did a quick draw of ourselves as a bird doing a favorite activity and table partners guessed. Lesson learned- take some time and think before you share! Thanks @drkmattson for the book recommendation!

Using AI and Canva, I created a boardgame of scenarios for the fourth grade Our Online Tracks Common Sense Media lesson.

Phew! It was a lot of work but thanks to EMC2Learning, Canva, and ChatGPT, I created a 6 week unit for 5th graders based on the @commonsenseorg lessons. We will be battling the evil Glitchmaster and six of his devious plans, culminating with a fun STEM activity (boss battle anyone?). Wish us luck!

Things my Ss said that made me laugh today
Student: is your dad still alive?
Me: yes
Student: how is that possible?
Me: 🤣

Me: which superpower would you choose?
Student: time travel so when being grown up is boring I can go back to being a kid.
Me: same kid 🤣
