But did you get to be the bull for “El Toro Mambo” for your students’ #HispanicHeritageMonth Showcase? I don’t think so!!! #schoollibrary #middleschoollibrary #folklorico
If there is not a recording or video of the Hollywood Bowl “Jesus Christ Supetstar” with Cynthia Erivo and Adam Lambert in my possession soon, I fear the person I will become. I’ve seen a few clips on TikTok and I NEED IT.
Hot diggity dog, it’s #NationalHotDogDay! Hot dogs are one of my guilty pleasures and I rarely pass up the opportunity when presented — so there’s no way I could pass up an opportunity for books about hot dogs! #schoollibrary #books
#KPopDemonHunters is such a blast! I didn’t expect to like it as much as I did — and each song is a bop! I guess I’m a #KPop fan now! If you’re looking to keep the K-pop and demon hunting vibes going, check out these #middlegradebooks and #yabooks! #schoollibrary

I’m super excited to announce that I’ve been selected for the @canva Canvassador program! If you’ve seen any presentation I’ve given, you’ve heard me say “I can do all things through Canva which strengthens me” — I love Canva so much and I can’t wait to spread the good word! #canvaedu #canvassador
Nothing has done more for my self esteem than my kids asking my age and gasping in disbelief when I give them the answer. Yesterday I even got a “I thought you were 25!!!”
This is such a great tip to help out teachers and librarians! I love how we can use digital tools to help our teachers create great content for our students.

My dad has always liked Native American history and learning about the Old West so I’ll be reading this to him — but I forgot how violent it is so I’ll be whispering some parts so as not to draw too much attention. Oops.
