It’s birthday #62! Grateful!

Rest in peace, Kylene Beers. 😢

Missing my mom on what would have been her 91st birthday!

Thank you Sis!!

This year, I wrote a poem to honor our living legend, Stevie Wonder, for our annual showcase. His baby girl is culminating in a week and we wanted him to feel our love. The greatest honor was to have him experience this moment in person.

It’s my firstborn’s 37th birthday! 🎉 🌷🎂💜

I’m only two episodes in and I love it. Congratulations on already being renewed for season two. #forever

I’m ready for summer! #poetry

Awww! I call them pawskers. My cat has them too.

So cute!

I was off Wed for appointments, and I received this interesting email from my student. This is one of the reasons why I teach my fifth graders how to email their teacher. I love that she can included herself in the list of students who were doing the work today! And that is highly likely.🤣🤣

Today’s poetry prompt from @sarahjdonovan.bsky.social gave me time to imagine the peace and joy of Heaven. In these challenging times, I must remember to breathe and pause, pray and rest, imagine and believe…this too shall pass. #poetrycommunity #openwrite #heaven #joy #peace #rest

I love your collection of videos! My students tried “What are you doing?” to practice improvisation and quick thinking and loved it.

I didn’t kill my orchid! I keep this one in my classroom and it’s blooming again. A little water once a week and I never think about it. This surprised me! 🌸💖

It’s my favorite week of the month when Ethical ELA writers share poetry together. This is a “form smash” of Golden Shovel and Gogyohka. #poetry #OpenWrite

Teachers, if you haven’t tried We Will Write with your scholars, what are you waiting for? My 5th graders are EAGER to write when it’s a We Will Write session. And now they can add their stories to Book Creator and create digital books! #beanauthormonth #WeWillWrite

So gorgeous! #joyspotting #mindfulwalking #springflowers

Meeting a phenomenal woman who I’ve admired for a long time. She even read to my students from her book, Stamped for Kids.

Rest in eternal peace and paradise!

You and I both! I got my vaccine in November and just got over the worst flu I’ve ever had. I can’t imagine it being any worse, but grateful for my vaccines! Take care, Jamelle.

This is VERY good news. Love bookshop.org and all the stuff they do!

I’m walking real quietly into February. I pray for ancestral power and protection!

My uncle was a Tuskegee Airman. This is pure evil. But no one better act surprised. NO ONE.

Wow!!
