If your goal this year is to read more books, remember: you don’t have to finish every book you start. If you’re halfway through and can’t stand the characters or just don’t care what happens, it’s okay to put it down. Life’s too short to read books you don’t love!

People who know me know I am huge @jonathancohn.bsky.social fan. Glad your brilliance is being elevated. Also same day voter registration we need it #mapoli shout-out @clbergpowers.bsky.social for screenshot

I love any activity that makes kids think of math visually and conceptually rather than just 'finding an answer'! Notice and wonder is my favorite strategy!

I created a podcast series interviewing teachers in my building to promote recognition to teachers using tech in the classroom. I’m in love with this project. It’s only a 5 min or less episode, and I drop it in the principal’s newsletter every week. Here’s an example: bit.ly/ByteSizedTeaching3
