How is it i am just learning about the Christmas movie Love The Coopers? It's so good!

You know what is a great tax deduction? Funding teacher projects on @donorschoose.bsky.social ! Thousands of projects are posted to help improve students' school experiences. tinyurl.com/br8se7x6

If you're looking to try some lesser known Christmas movies this year: Instead of It's a Wonderful Life, try It Happened on 5th Avenue. Instead of The Holiday, try While You Were Sleeping. Instead of Die Hard, try Enemy of State. Instead of Family Man, try Christmas List. Enjoy!

I love to connect books to tangible things so my kindergartners got a visit from Mike of Clear Flour Bakery who showed them delicious breads, just like the kind The Bakery Dragon bakes!

I read THE ROOFTOPPERS by @katherinerundell.bsky.social. I am much older than the audience it's intended for but I still enjoyed the book. It's a clean, easy, fast read. I loved when Sophie said that mothers are a place to put your heart down..a resting stop to recover your breath. <sigh>

We love dressing up as our favorite story character on Oct 31 and we love our guest readers! A big thank you to everyone! #boston #bps #books

Jane Goodall was all goodness and wonder. Diane Keaton was effervescent and vulnerable. I am so glad the world got to experience both of them! I am so sad to see them go.

It's the Friday of our first full week of school and I just want to thank all the wonderful people who have taken the time to go to Donors Choose and helped teachers pay for items they will use in their classrooms. THANK YOU!

I saw a drone show last night and while the whole thing was visually stunning, the best part was that no dogs, wildlife, veterans or neurodivergent people were traumatized by it. Who needs fireworks anymore?

Just finished IN A NEW YORK MINUTE by Kate Spenser. 1. The author loves NYC. 2. She also likes bagels. 3. @hallmark.bsky.social needs to pick up this book. I loved the line where she compared being with someone you love to coming home to a light on.

Summer is the only time I can sit and watch TV, and I want to give a standing ovation to Amazon Prime's series "Ballard" and "Butterfly".

I am watching The Residence on Netflix. The casting and the also the writing by Paul William Davies is <chef's kiss> perfection!

Sending a big Thank You high five to everyone who donated to a teacher's project on Donors Choose this week!

It's the start of a new school year, and that means thousands of teachers are spending their money to make sure America's kids have what they need to learn. Donors Choose is matching donations today. Please go find a teacher's project and donate. Thank you!

If you're in a book club, you may want to suggest Aftertaste for your next selection. It's very thought provoking.

A passing storm left the loveliest goodbye.

Life-saving idea! Pass it on!

What a great story about WWII and the brave citizens of Britain who banded together to stand against fascism! If you have a preteen, or if you are looking for a good, fast read, I loved this book by Ruth Sepetys and Steve Sheinkin:

May God bless the Helpers who are out there saving people in Texas. May the angels comfort the families who are waiting for prayers to be answered. May heaven welcome the new souls we lost to this tragedy. God bless you, Texas.

It was field day today.

I just finished a book. I didn't like it. But once I was more than halfway through, I had to finish it. It took me a week but it's over and done with and removed from my Kindle. I wish I was strong enough to put a bad book down and just not finish it.

As the school year winds down, I want to thank Trader Joes and Whole Foods for their donation of dips and chips so the staff could unwind and relax before the last few steps to the finish line.

Purrfect. The day is going as planned. #WeekendVibes #Caturday #CatsOfBluesky

At the Scholastic Book Fair I read the book "No Such Thing As A Unicorn" by Lucy Rowland. A child said, "No! Not a unicorn book!" After I read the book, he said, "Read it again!" Highly recommend this book for the 3-5 year old crowd! Katy Halford's pictures were perfect!

I'm running the #Scholasticbookfair this week. I can't wait to get all those books into my students' hands!

Hello #NewSkies, I am a science writer covering university research news. Here is a project that needs to be tested on chicken or dairy farms and we are very anxious to find an #AgScience partner to help fund further tests because it could help prevent pandemic! source.washu.edu/2025/03/new-... 🧪🐔

@zachweinersmith.bsky.social and Boulet, chef's kiss for Bea Wolf! The writing was haiku quality! We need her rally cry today: Go home! My hands guard this hall! For 6 and 7 days, your storm shrouded our stars! Rains of sorrow, rivers of sadness.. Make no more clouds. I have drawn the rainbow here.

I tried to wait until Spring Break to read the latest installment of City Spies but London was calling me and I listened. I adore this middle grade series and I know my 10 year old self would have read the books over and over. @jamesponti.bsky.social I can't wait to learn Annie's spy name!

I want to send a big thank you out to the universe and the kind-hearted souls who donated to teachers' projects @donorschoose.bsky.social yesterday. I am so grateful there are people like you in this world!

I would be so grateful if you would pass along the link to my Donors Choose project! All donations are matched today and they are tax deductible! www.donorschoose.org/project/rain...

Read INSIDE THREAT by Matthew Quirk and it was so tense and thrilling that my palms sweat as I read it!

It looks like I will be comfort watching HGTV, Hallmark channel and season 1 of Agatha Raisin for a while.

I don't personally know Dolly Parton. I know she is talented. I know she is generous. I know she has a positive attitude. She is sunshine personified. The world she has known for 60 years has come to an end this week. I hope she knows how many people are sending her love right now.

🚨GA Librarians & Library Supporters, ACT NOW! Senate Bill 74 heads to floor vote Monday, & your senators need to hear from you first! Should SB 74 pass, librarians could face prosecution for high and aggravated misdemeanors should library materials be deemed “harmful to minors.” #Booksky #SOS

The song "One Tin Soldier" has been playing over and over in my head recently. Anyone remember it?

The 1st graders learned about Florence Mills and how great singers like Aretha Franklin, Alicia Keys and Samara Joy stand on her shoulders. Then we sang karaoke. Let me tell you from firsthand experience, hearing the ABC song sung 10 times in a row is it's own torture.

After reading 3 so-so books in a row, I found a good one! @stevenrowley.bsky.social you did it again! I adored The Guncle! I worried the sequel wouldn't measure up. It did! Skip watching the news, people! Run out and buy The Guncle Abroad and laugh yourself silly!

Hey Bluesky-ers! There are thousands of teachers who could use help funding their projects for school supplies on @donorschoose.bsky.social ! Your donation is tax deductible!

Boston has had a snowfall or ice rain almost every 3 days in the past few weeks. I want to send out a BIG THANK YOU to everyone who has plowed, shoveled and salted the sidewalks and roads. Best job I've ever seen in all the years I've lived here!

Need an escape from the news? I just listened to the Silver-Haired Sisterhood by @judyleighauthor.bsky.social and it was like watching the Golden Girls: funny and uplifting. The narrator Phyllida Nash did a wonderful job!

We celebrated Clifford's Birthday today at school and the kids went home with dog ear headbands and lots of sugary treats! Happy birthday to Clifford the Big Red Dog!

Donors Choose is matching donations to teacher's projects today if you use the word HEART. Would you please repost this link to my project tinyurl.com/48kfb388? I would love to get this project funded today so we have everything in time for our next event. $130 is all it will take....
