What if the most important resource you have isn't that robot or lab kit, but the read aloud you are thinking about sharing with the kids today? I use Nani and the Lion to illustrate how to connect read alouds and STEAM for joyful learning through play. www.drdianeadventures.com/post/it-star...

📚 World Read Aloud Day is Wednesday! Perfect timing to share my new Brainz Magazine article on how daily read alouds build empathy, curiosity, and a lifelong love of reading. Read 👉 www.brainzmagazine.com/post/how-a-d... #WorldReadAloudDay #ReadAloud #EarlyLiteracy #LoveOfReading #BrainzMagazine

What if motivation is the missing piece in reading instruction? I chat with Anmarie Paul (Behind the Book) explores how belonging, read-alouds, creativity, and student choice build lifelong readers. 🎧 Episode 173 out now #LiteracyEducation #ScienceOfReading #ReadingMotivation #EducationPodcast

What do we carry forward as we wrap up the year? For me, it's stories, curiosity, empathy, & connection. I created a free digital calendar to help you begin the new year with a shared picture book each day. www.drdianeadventures.com/read-aloud-c... Share with someone who loves picture books.

Learning doesn’t just happen in the classroom. Sometimes, it happens in the wild. New Adventures in Learning episode with @bsroyce.bsky.social. Find out why hope is something we DO. 🎧 www.buzzsprout.com/2019975/epis... #AdventuresInLearning #EducationPodcast #ConservationEducation #HopeInAction

Book banning is not the solution—talk to your kids about what they're reading and how you feel about it.

Some of my upcoming projects are focused on the power of connection that arises from empathy. 1) How do you define empathy? 2) Why is it important? 3) How do you cultivate empathy -- in yourself, kids, organizations? Let's start a conversation. #Empathy #LearningThroughPlay #Connections #Speaker

Small visitor to my blackberry patch. In a world where we rush and stress and are experiencing unprecedented anxiety and overwhelm, may you feel a moment of total peace and joy this weekend. #empathyinaction #learningthroughplay #timeforjoy

When you jam your bill through overnight… When you are forced to cancel town halls… When you need to wear masks to hide your actions… You know the people aren’t on your side—and now, you’ve lost us forever. We will remember this day. We will remember your names. We will remember you as traitors.

Today I celebrate the dreamers, writers, scientists, teachers, artists, thinkers, creatives, activists, volunteers, and doers who fight injustice and work to create an equitable, just, and more empathetic America. Liberty and Justice for ALL. #EmpathyinAction #NoKings #libertyandjusticeforall

Play builds empathy and collaboration, as well as the ability to work through conflicts, imagine possibilities, and deal with disappointments. Children's museums create opportunities for families to learn through play. Links below. (1/2) #Learningthroughplay #podcast #speaker #science #empathy

#NOKINGS Had an interesting call with my dad about protests and his concerns that the regime will use this weekend as an excuse to crack down with martial law. After assuring him I will be careful, I reminded him that he raised me to speak up and do the right thing. Resistance takes many forms.(1/2)

Probably the most dangerous thing in politics is when a leader needs conflict – depends on it for his political power… He drives up fears of others, launches provocations to incite violence … And so, a country seems on the edge of something disastrous.  My Daily Brief: www.hrw.org/the-day-in-h...

Just in case you don’t know about this, here is a small way to make your voice heard: 5calls.org/issue/nation...

Chatting with friends the right style of gasketted sunglasses to pickup before heading out. What a world. We won’t be silenced or cowed. Potential of a lil discomfort vs doing the right thing and supporting every state in our union is an easy choice. Spread the word: rise up 6/9 and 6/14

I am in downtown Los Angeles right now and it is completely surreal to hear that Trump is sending Marines here. We are listening to mariachi music. People have dogs. There are teenagers here. It is utterly and completely peaceful. Please tell your friends.

Trump wants to criminalize congressional oversight. His corrupt DOJ just charged Congresswoman LaMonica McIver with “assault” even though video footage + witnesses prove SHE was shoved by ICE agents. McIver was performing lawful oversight at an ICE Facility in Newark at the time. #PeoplesMovement

Reflecting on the power of using and raising our voices for good trouble. Thankful for the mom (and the village) who showed me to raise my voice. I continue to speak up, not only for my daughters, but for a world worth believing in for all our children. #speaker #adventuresinlearning #mothersday
