Just wanted to thank all the donors and supporters for your continued support & help with my classroom this year! @prisonculture.bsky.social @heatherl.bsky.social & many more! The kids really appreciate the Take What You Need cart full of supplies. It was a great first week of Year 23 for me!

One time I was added to an admin. group chat. They thought I was Karri the admin rather than Carrie the English teacher. They were bashing the former superintendent and his son. I wish this message was more like that one.

With seniors @jessycamathews.bsky.social & I hosted a research draft day to draft topics. It all leads to a full school presentation where they present their topics at Activism Day to the school, think science fair style with each kid at their discussion table. So even if they cheat, they can’t BS.

Happy birthday, Dr. King! And if you haven’t read Where Do We Go From Here, there’s no better time than now to honor such a truth telling force whose words still echo across our nations chapels, schools, alleys, homes, and voting booths. What a visionary!

Not sure if it meets your ask but I’ll dig more tomorrow. Images 1-2 in Boston, a rethinking of historical event. Image 3, a play reimagining the night Dr. King was assassinated. 4, a student remixing a graphic novel image. And anything shea writes, of course 💙
