Hi teachers & friends! To celebrate the upcoming release of my 25th book, I am giving away 2500 copies of I Survived the Dust Bowl over the next 10 days. Today: 10 class sets of 25. To enter, like this post & retweet. Winners announced tomorrow am. ❤️

This is love. One of my student’s parents (and a dear friend of mine) found and brought me some boxes of Crayola Take Note Dry Erase markers. They’re my absolute favorite, so of course Crayola has decided to discontinue them. Our school psych also brought me a set. I’m

Why is it the best 30 minutes of sleep always occurs in that hour between everyone else’s alarm and mine? 😴😴

Saw a chunk of rainbow in the distance… Just to find a whole rainbow across town.

We read this book in class today. Everyone was like 😳 the whole time. 100% engaged. Then we drew the shape we think was hiding in the dark (and had debates as to whether square was lying about being there with circle and triangle).

How many kids do you have in class that are left handed? Growing up, I knew of 1 or 2… and we basically stayed in the same orbit until middle school. When I started teaching, I had 1 or 2 (maybe). Bought the left handed scissors for them. All was well. Today in class, we were

Absolutely best discovery this morning!! Lately I’ve not been sleeping well because my husband snores (and lately I’ve not been able to just tune it out). At 4 this morning, I had enough and put my noise cancelling headphones on with white noise through them. I had it timed so

Safe School Training. I know! I know! I’m only now getting around to doing it. Have to have the CC on since I can’t hear anything properly today. Which is fine. I worked in healthcare and emergency medicine, rescue, etc… in one way or another for a decade. I’ve got this.
