It brings me a lot of joy to feel inspired by a poem, to create and teach a lesson, to share that lesson, and then see someone like Marcus adapt and mold it to an entirely new objective.

Let's keep sharing here on #EduSky #TeachersofBluesky!
Reason #192391 that I continue to love connecting with other teachers here:

1️⃣ found a poem activity from @thevogelman.bsky.social
2️⃣ had students to read/annotate/discuss
3️⃣ then asked them to write their own "ingredients" poem
4️⃣ each student shared one line to create our "classroom ingredients"

Want to know where all of the thoughtful and reflective educators went? This article in @teachmag.bsky.social by @jennavandenberg.bsky.social sums it up perfectly! Substack is a place to “stop, step back, think about” and share our teaching. #TeacherSky

“Everyone—write down what _____ said!”

One of my favorite, super-simple moves to help affirm and celebrate students as a teacher? Stopping class after a great observation and having everyone write it down.

(It's the little things, right?)
