April is #SchoolLibraryMonth 📚

School libraries = readers, thinkers, creators, and lifelong learners. Proud to be part of work that makes a real impact every day.

5th graders are getting ready for their Defense of Learning! Loved seeing them use a custom @magicschoolai chatbot as a thought partner to reflect on their growth and connect it to our Profile of a Learner.

Real reflection, real ownership, real growth. @UnitedWeLearnKY #KYILN

📚 Hot take from a librarian: kids are more likely to read a book if another kid recommends it.

Loved sharing how our students are helping lead the reading culture at CES during my #KAST26 session today.

What happens when students stop waiting to be told to read… and start leading the reading culture?

Excited to share the amazing things happening at Clearfield Elementary and the work behind my Innovative Teacher Fellowship at #KAST26!

Some days I teach reading. Some days I host authors like Justin Colon. Some days I get paid to laugh with kids over books. 📚❤️

Today was all three, and it’s exactly why I love what I do. So grateful for moments like this and for a job that fills my cup every single day.

📚❄️ NTI library fun! Students listened to Yetis Are the Worst! by @alexdwillan and used @magicschoolai to create a yeti that showed their opinion. Ethical AI + critical thinking 👏 Check out this yeti by 4th grader Lily. Are yetis really the worst? 👀 #RowanRising @RowanSchools

I’m just a girl, stocking a book machine, living my best bookish life with all these fresh reads. 😄📚 #LibraryLife

Hot off the press!

@UFLiteracy now has an Intervention Placement Test to help you figure out where to begin interventions for specific students.

Scoring patterns tell you which UFLI lesson you should start with. This is going to be really helpful!
