The Parable of the Sower by Octavia Butler
@dawnaz.bsky.social Thanks for your interest! I will be sure to post a link once the article is published.
Feeling gratitude for freelance opportunities that let me use my skills as an educator, librarian, and writer to publish new content. I am working in an Edutopia article on books with neurodivergent characters and have a We Are Teachers assignment about news literacy. #tlsky #edusky
Working on learning a few phrases in Chinese for my upcoming trip to Taiwan. #FulbrightTeach #TeacherExchange
I love this community connection!
Our local Little Free Library was almost completely out of kids’ books, so I added some titles and reorganized. After I add books, I love checking in periodically to see what’s been selected. #bookjoy #lfl @littlefreelibrary.bsky.social
Learn how I translated my time at the White House History Teacher Institute into K-5 lessons and programs on American history and national symbols. You can view the free 40-minute webcast and access a pdf with links, resources, and book lists. #tlsky #edusky www.sckls.info/services/con...

Spent three amazing days at a Global Education Symposium in Washington, DC meeting Fulbright Teacher Exchange alumni and prepping for my Taiwan trip. The best part was meeting the 11 educators I’ll travel with and networking with outstanding educators. #Fulbrightteach #tlsky #globaleducation
This is such a beautiful YA story. I recommend the audiobook. A teenage girl travels to Taiwan to meet her grandparents for the first time and unravel family secrets while she deals with family and friendship troubles. She’s an artist and describes her emotions as colors. #yalit #tlsky #taiwan
Picked up a sweet little bookcase secondhand and will have no trouble filling it up! This is just a start. #booklover

I have a new article published with @edutopia about graphic novels and mental health. This grew out of work I started at an NEH summer institute at @comicsatsdsu.bsky.social. www.edutopia.org/article/midd... #tlsky #edusky #graphicnovels #mentalhealth #childenslit

One way to teach visual literacy is to have students read graphic novels, which are a much-maligned genre of books that actually include examples of every genre known in "regular" books, from nonfiction to poetry to fiction

I have my tickets to Taiwan! I leave Wichita at 5:40 am on April 10 and arrive in Taipei 25 hours later. I will meet up with the rest of my Fulbright group in Seattle and we’ll be on the same international flight together. 🇺🇸 🇹🇼 #travelandlearn #tlsky

Your book is stunning. The story, the text, the artwork, all of it. I just finished reading it and my tears haven’t yet dried. I can’t wait to share this masterpiece with my students.

I love the idea of a recipe scavenger hunt. I have many students who love to check out cookbooks, but I’d never thought of incorporating them into a lesson.
This beautiful book teaches the reader about the life cycle of a tree and the many ways trees can sustain the lives of other creatures. #TLSky #EduSky
