A cupcake on a plate with an upside down plastic cup on it secured with tape

Today I was given a cupcake from my front office besties & decided my daughter would enjoy it. But I needed to transport it home. Behold my maker-ed cupcake holder. I want you to know it was on my passenger seat and I hit the brakes and it slid and it was still good! STEAM learning baby! #tlsky

I remind my students (who have known me for years) that it’s me, their favorite librarian. They say β€œyou’re our only librarian” to which I respond β€œthat must mean I am your favorite” so next time make it Favorite librarian day ;)

Stuffed animals displayed on a table with a sign that says adopt

Inspired by @mauramadigan7.bsky.social presentation at @vaasl.bsky.social and @drtlovesbooks.bsky.social #SLLN podcast episode, today is our first adoption day for Reading rescue pets! I’ve changed some things but my 2nd graders will be excited I’m sure! #tlsky

The Librarians Airs on PBS Starting Feb 9th. You Should Watch! What this film gets right about censorship and the people living it

The Librarians airs on PBS Feb 9.

This film is personal. Many of the librarians featured are friends and mentors. Their stories show what censorship and defamation really look like in schools and communities.

Worth watching. Worth sharing.

Okay but the branch of public library my family frequents is literally across a little road from a grocery store. I can see picking up a bag of peas and then forgetting about it when I see the book I wanted to checkout! It wasn’t me though but I get it

All the above ideas sound amazing but I went super low maintenance. I cut out a bunch of hearts with our Ellison press and asked teachers to either email me a title or they could come by and tell me one. Then I just looped scotch tape and stuck it on the cover on display β€œso & so loves this”

Telling A Good Story Sam Helnick, current ALA President, has said repeatedly, we need to share our stories. Telling our stories helps others understand what we do, how we do it, what problems we encounter, and what suc…

Does everyone know what you do? How do you tell them? We need to work on telling our stories and sharing them widely. Many have no idea what school librarians do, projects we create, and the connections we make. #aasl #schoollibrarians #shareourstories #tlsky

Apps on phones versus the same thing on a web browser on a computer is the most annoying thing ever. Why can I not have all the capabilities on my mobile device?! I’m looking at you Google Maps!

Toad hides in bed from the mess of his house, while Frog looks on. From "Tomorrow" In *Days with Frog and Toad*

Toad woke up. β€œDrat!” he said. β€œThis house is a mess. I have so much work to do.”

Frog looked through the window. β€œToad, you are right,” said Frog. β€œIt is a mess.”

Toad pulled the covers over his head.

These students can't get enough coding! They are very motivated by the code.org music lab and share their creations. I get to dance my way through class. It's a win/win!
