@BethRimer @ncte @JackieWoodson @NifMuhammad Dang! I was swept away in the whirlwind as a first-timer. Sorry to have missed you!

[Sofia S. Feist @SycamoreFeist]

I am still reeling from the joy and reverence I experienced over the last few days courtesy of @ncte. What I know: English teachers are simply my people, @JackieWoodson is the truth, and the words of @NifMuhammad will sustain me for the foreseeable future.

@shsaviators @ncte @JackieWoodson @NifMuhammad Huge thanks to our admins for making it happen!

[Hanif Abdurraqib @NifMuhammad]

for someone who didn’t know I’d be giving a keynote to a thousand people until 48 hours ago I think I did alright. Thanks to folks at NCTE for listening to me chat about Morrison and Gloria Naylor and place-making.

@erinbeersvore @SycamoreSchools @shsaviators Toot away! You deserve it. I can ride the high of a card like this all the way to August.

What a lovely end-of-year addition to our Book Nook. Thanks, Lindsay 💚 @Synnovationlab

This week, some of our students presented their original math problems and challenged the rest of the lab to tackle them in real time. As Mr. Ulland reminded us, “Problems: we all have them. You just have to be ready to solve whatever comes your way.” @Synnovationlab

During his Tuesday Talk, Andy looked the American suburb in the eye and said, "Be better." Syn Lab students were presented with a compelling argument for more walkable streets and communities that benefit our environment, physical health, & even overall happiness. @Synnovationlab

@erinbeersvore @voreben The recently sentient clocks are trying to communicate!

“Check in with others, and check in with yourself.” Tuesday Talks can serve as an important platform for student advocacy. Thank you, Mae Sams, for sharing your story and developing a student help center in the @Synnovationlab.

I work with funny people who also make delicious food.

What a treat to sit on the panel today for the ninth-grade Invent-a-Species presentations. Students flexed their speaking and digital media skills while fulfilling standards for Biology and World History. Also, how cute is the Noptulla? @Synnovationlab

@voreben The clock is trying its best on Back to the Future Day. It’s giving Doc Brown programming the Dolorean’s flux capacitor dashboard.

I am in love with these reading ladders crowdsourced by @RebekahODell1. This would be such a great ongoing project for students to continuously add to and tweak.

[Sofia S. Feist @SycamoreFeist]

@chuckduck365 I feel weirdly invested in this now.
