So it finally happened, we’ve revamped the circulation desk area to become more of co-working space for the kiddos! This gives my students another social distancing space in the library. I’m not done yet, though! Learning environments do promote engagement and build community.

Everyone’s purpose is different. I’ve realized mine has been simple, “Leave it better than you found it”. There have been many occasions that I’ve missed the mark but this school year, I really want to focus on making the library a better place for my kiddos.#schoollibrary

I think my signs are really going to help my readers connect with more books. Never underestimate a good sign! One down genre down some many more to go! #schoollibraries #allarewelcome #midddleschool #whatsyoursign

One of my favorite things to do is merchandising…I love to put together books that connect characters, thoughts, or just a mood. #bookcarts #schoollibraries #allarewelcome #readingcommunity

For years, the @UofSC’s Center for Civil Rights History and Research has offered training programs to K-12 educators, exposing them to aspects of civil rights history through primary sources, lectures and historical site visits.

@DiverseIssues @UofSC @UofSCCRC @mrsohbrienpkms I’ve grown tremendously from this experience, and I’m excited to share my knowledge with my students and colleagues. Thank you for the opportunity to share!

@UofSCCRC @NEHgov @UofSC_CIHE @UofSCEducation @DrTMP I couldn’t agree more, this institute has truly been powerful! Can’t wait for tomorrow!

[Center for Civil Rights History & Research @UofSCCRC]

Our @NEHgov Institute on Reconstruction with @UofSC_CIHE and @UofSCEducation isn't only about history content, but also about the strategies K-12 teachers can use to teach this content. Today @DrTMP talked about using primary sources to teach white supremacy & Black resistance.

@ReadThinkBeGood @coxtl @mr_nuzum It takes a lot soul searching. This pandemic has caused me to be more introspective, I’m not sure if everyone is ready to dig deep so the cycle continues.

[Anya Bonnette @AnyaBonnette]

@coxtl You’re absolutely right, the stressors of poverty weigh heavy on children - physically, emotionally, mentally and socially.

[Anya Bonnette @AnyaBonnette]

@coxtl I love it 😻

[Anya Bonnette @AnyaBonnette]

@coxtl @SCASLNet @cathyjo @readingrocksPam Congratulations, you will do just fine!

[Anya Bonnette @AnyaBonnette]

@MichaelSheley7 It was great seeing you today, such a wonderful surprise! I can’t say enough about your positive energy and enthusiasm.

[Anya Bonnette @AnyaBonnette]

@EdieCrook Will do!

[Anya Bonnette @AnyaBonnette]

@heatherloy @EdieCrook It was great timing, because I really needed some inspiration... this year has had its challenges.

[Anya Bonnette @AnyaBonnette]

I can’t wait to read that latest @SCASLNet Messenger. The issue came right on time, congrats @EdieCrook and the Editorial Committee!

@coxtl I know 😆 sometimes I replay moments and cringe. My kiddos are like, what’s wrong mommy. I’m like just thinking 🤔 that’s all.
