If you want to know why I’m the teacher and advocate I am today, @carmelavaldez.bsky.social is a huge part of that. She’s off spread her joy and magic in a new way, but wow, this goodbye is hard. ♥️ Cheers to her & in celebration, here is a picture of us toasting sparkling cider. 🥂

My 20th last day of school. I had gotten good at not crying… But then @carmelavaldez.bsky.social decided she’s gotta go do big things. ❤️ Me and @holamsjohnston.bsky.social right now: 😭😭

If you're a member of NCTE's Elementary Section and you would appreciate having a forum for robust, honest conversations that focus on elementary classroom practice and problem-solving, this new virtual event series starting in April is just for you: ncte.org/classroom-co...

If you support, encourage, or engage with educators, this is a must-read. Also, Caroline’s words are a hug to all of us teachers. ♥️ @ncte.org [P.S. If you’re interested in writing for Classroom Corridors, let’s connect!] #EduSky #NCTE #iTeachEnglish #iTeachDL

I wrote a little piece for NCTE's Classroom Corridors. If you're not an NCTE member, maybe it's time to become one. It's one of my favorite professional orgs. ❤️ #EduSky #EduCoach #NCTE #iTeachDL

I’m honored to have been part of the team behind this resource. We hope it brings joy, connection, and support to elementary educators everywhere. Have a classroom story or project to share? Let’s collaborate! #teachers #edusky #elementary #elementaryeducation #education #NCTE #literacy

We launched a new online publication—created by and curated for elementary classroom teachers—to elevate teacher voices and connect our members in ways that support practice. Check it out: classroomcorridors.org

These books bring joy and empathy into classrooms. I was especially inspired by the way @msguerrette.bsky.social uses questioning to push her students’ critical thinking. Classroom Corridors is a resource close to my heart. Check it out! #literacy #edusky #books #literature #NCTE

You can't use the parks budget to redo your backyard. You can't use the highway budget to repave your driveway. You can't use the police budget to hire a personal security guard. And rich people can't use our public school budget to pay for private school. Say no to vouchers.
