Since April is School Library Month, you may be wondering: how can I best SUPPORT my school librarians and library program? #TLSky #SchoolLibrarian See thread below…

#NCCE26 Flashmob was amazing! Starting the conference with energy. Great job those who were brave and danced.

To check out later!

@kristenbrooks77.bsky.social Thanks for the great #STEAM ideas #NCCE26 #Edusky #TLSky

For the past several years I have done a March Picture Book contest with 16 newish books for my students to enjoy and vote for their favorite. It is a lot of work and I wasn’t going to do it this year but a group of my library regulars asked me about it this week then begged me to do it.

Friday’s staff training was conducted by the Sheriff’s department on how to respond to an active shooting at our school. It is depressing and horrifying that we have this as PD now. #Edusky #SchoolLibrarian #Teaching #ElementaryEd

Always interesting. The ICE detention center diagram is horrifying and reminds me of slave ship diagrams. I did get sucked into the women’s sizing changes.

My school's readers love the INVESTIGATORS series & have been anxiously awaiting John Patrick Green's AGENTS OF S.U.I.T.: SEW MUCH TROUBLE! Sven's in the spotlight here, going undercover in a reality show competition to catch a BBQ sauce thief. Lots of humor & hijinks! #MGLit @mackidssl.bsky.social

Just bring your marriage certificate, along with your birth certificate, drivers license, passport… Do men need to bring their marriage certificates?

www.inpursuit.org/schedule In Pursuit is doing a weekly lesson on each president and some First Ladies in honor of the USA 250th anniversary. Sounds like a great idea for #Edusky #Teachers #SchoolLibrarians #Civics The first one is about George Washington by George W. Bush

Does everyone feel they must accomplish something over the weekend to justify the time spent relaxing, reading or watching shows? This weekend I did laundry, washed sheets and comforter (this is laundry expansion pack), shopping, cleaned windows and cooked dinner. Now I feel less guilty.

Here’s a public service announcement for #Teachers #SchoolLibrarians #Edusky - you can love teaching and still be looking forward to this long weekend.

It's not too late to register for our Jeff Kinney Virtual Classroom Visit with Student Q&A! 👉 home.mackin.com/resources/st...

One of my favorite #SchoolLibrary activities is #BookTasting I set out all sorts of chapter books and we talk about how do students choose a book to read. Over 1,300 books checked out last week! Even my reluctant readers were engaged. #TLSky #EduSky #Skybrarians

Teaching—You laugh, you cry, and you work harder than you ever thought you could. Somedays you're trying to change the world and somedays you're just trying to make it through the day… #education #teachers #EduSky

Learning starts at home, whether intentional or not. Children mimic what they see done by the adults around them. action.everylibrary.org/learning_sta...

Every school librarian you know is scrambling to determine suitable replacements for our resource guides, this is a gold standard public resource.

Just on the social security issue alone, immigrants pay into it and get nothing back ! 👇🏼

My 4th graders are doing country reports and I just showed them this as reliable source. It makes no sense to just take it down.

My book haul from this last weekend. Pile on right is for me, left is for my #SchoolLibrary 💙📚

In the #PNW we do occasionally get sunny days in January. We drove up to Lyndon and Bellingham to support local bookstores there then drove down #ChuckanutDrive to enjoy these beautiful views of #PugetSound

Some great titles there.

Today my was my school assembly for MLK day. 3rd graders singing and a few 6th graders chosen to speak. These kids give me hope for the future during a dark time. #Teaching #Edusky

Your library might be the most affordable — and welcoming — place to start learning to program.

This is a 💔 read about the all school chat going on during the Brown University shooting and lock down. I live in constant fear of a school shooting at my school. apnews.com/article/brow...

Agreed

Yesterday I went to Barnes and Noble to buy a few new releases I know my students are clamoring for (Wings of Fire GN anyone?) and picked up a beginning crochet book from the adult section. In case you don’t know B&N gives a discount for #SchoolLibraries 📚🧵

❄️🏂❄️⛸️❄️ Want a way to introduce your students to the Winter Olympics? Here's a four lesson unit I created to use with my 3rd-5th graders. It includes slides, worksheets, and a student-friendly research website with multiple videos and links for each sport. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

My secret #BookLover confession-I finished 3 books I had half read during 2025. Felt great my TBR pile was smaller! Then I went out today and bought 2 new books. Still a smaller 📚 right?

Teacher last Sunday night of break -I’m not ready. I am very glad December Me cleaned up and set up everything for tomorrow lessons. But January me is still dreading that alarm tomorrow.

The number of books you read isn't important. It's only important that you read.

I can’t stop laughing. Swampy? @merriam-webster.com what word of word of the year is that?

My two pups. Perfectly sums up their personalities too.

NEW: How many books did you read this year? If it was more than 2, congrats: you read more than the median American. Read on for way more @today.yougov.com polling from me on America's book-reading habits in 2025. 1/

Teacher dilemma- 2nd week of break Do I A)sleep all day B)read all day C)binge watch something D)clean the house E)take on a big house project F)plan lessons for January

I am at 167 books read this year so far and I read a wide variety of books. All sorts of lengths, all sorts of genres.

Book lover pet peeve - when they describe someone as olive skinned. Who started this terrible description and why do people still use it? In my brain olives are green or black - neither of which is a skin tone I think they really mean. There has to be a better word. 🫒 💙📚

Are your kids “boooooored”? We’ve got hundreds of book recommendations for them right here:

Watching Murder Bot on 🍎 and while I ❤️ the books more this is a good adaptation. Noma Dumezweni is perfect as Dr.Mensah.

This week is dedicated to finishing all the half read books I have laying around the house.
