Secondary ELA/ESL/TEFL/reading intervention teacher from Central AR. I like to have fun every day! Teaching & coaching are my passions. All tweets are my own.
@ncte I received an advanced copy from the convention! BONUS: It’s signed :)
2018 was my first year, so you can imagine how excited/overwhelmed/in awe/ill-prepared I was!
When teaching & learning becomes inputs, outputs, test scores & benchmarks we have turned education into a corporation & students into machines #HipHopEd
you want some good news from 2018? I bet you do
• book sales are up this year over last year
• sales of physical books have grown every year since 2013

Sometimes independence is messy. As the adult in the classroom, I've got to be comfortable with the reality that independence will not often occur in neat little rows.
We wish for independence, but often we demand compliance. The two are not the same thing. A4 #tcrwp
@TheSammer88 Song represents the songwriter, record represents the artists, producers, and everyone else that made it into a “song”. I hope that makes sense and helps!
Can we just take a moment to appreciate the stacks from #NCTE18 ? I’m in love! So thankful to have a classroom library that all of my students are reflected in! @ncte#BuildYourStack
Brought home my book haul #ncte18 & told my 8yr old cousin to pick one...or a few. Taught her my tricks for choosing books if I wasn’t sure which I wanted. She’s narrowing down now :)
Every Christmas our tradition is to go to B&N. I buy her a book & hot chocolate & we hang out.
