📘 question: as a teacher/educator, what is your biggest takeaway or wondering about "reading" as 2025 comes to a close? (May or may not be having a conversation with 2 very cool folks tomorrow about this! 👀)

Day #29: 31 Days, 31 Lists - 2025 Nonfiction Books for Older Readers. Forget the picture books. Older nonfiction, that nebulous but ultimately satisfying genre, is where the action is. This list today just proves it.

Yes, teaching can be hard. With 25 years in education, I reflect on the impact on have had on so many lives, an impact that will continue far into the future. I love being a teacher - I hope to inspire the next generation of educators.

The 'kin' of ‘napkin’ means "little." ‘Nap’ comes from ‘nape,' which means “tablecloth.” So a napkin is a little tablecloth. 10/10, no notes.

In light of current news, I'm bringing this offer back. I probably can't ship anything off now until after the holiday season, but if you reach out, I'll get it to you as quick as possible in the New Year.

Jesse Hamm had the take to end all takes on children's media. "People who disdain writing ‘just for children’ fail to realize that those children will remember what they read, maybe for the rest of their lives. You’re not writing for permanent children; you’re getting an early start on adults.”

Teachers benefit from peer feedback, but too often their busy schedules don’t allow for it. Here’s how one school created a successful drop-in observation culture to give teachers the space to learn from each other. 💫

I'll stop here, but my point is: this was a long and difficult week but all these things still happened and I never want to get to the point where the "long and difficult" keeps me from seeing them happen. end thread 🍎 (but...what good things happened in your classroom?)

Cat names should evolve like avant-garde jazz. By the time of a cat's fifth birthday the name by which it is generally known should have zero resemblance to its original name.

I take on average 10,000 stills and a half hour of video every week. Most I'll never think about again. This I'll hold onto until I grow old. 4 hours ago. Zero edits. No recoloring. No cropping. Nothing. Just straight up reality. 🦑

It's a great cosmic joke that neurodivergence both runs in families and gets diagnosed based on parent reports. I was diagnosed at 30 because a man who has eaten potatoes every day for 57 years and a woman who collects loose buttons decided I was a perfectly normal child.
