Honored and excited to share that I’ve been named a 2026 Henry Ford Teacher Innovator Award recipient! Grateful to be recognized alongside such inspiring educators across the U.S. who are pushing creativity and innovation forward in their classrooms every day. #innovation

Entering my 26th year teaching, and the joy continues to grow. Absolutely love seeing the kids come into school with such joy and excitement. I greatly enjoyed seeing so many of my students from last year come by for a visit and was happy to meet this year’s group.

As of late, the outdoor air quality has been on high alert with the Canadian wildfires affecting a number of states in the US. Check out my most recent blog post discussing seven ways to keep the air in your home clean. doughaddad.com/7-ways-to-keep… #airquality #canadianwildfires

Happy 17th Anniversary to my most amazing wife. To this day, I will never forget that magical day, 20 years ago, when God brought us together from over 4,200 miles apart to meet on that magical day on the Island! After that, the rest is history! ❤️🥰🙏 🤗

Happy World Read Aloud Day! Today, I had the pleasure in bringing Mya McLure to first and second graders today at Tootin’ Hills Elementary School in Simsbury, CT. It was so great to see their excitement and engagement in the story. A great group of kids to say the least!

This was so special to receive from the students! ❤️

This is what a class of fifth grade students said about Mya McLure, The Brave Science Girl: The Toad Cave! This is music to my ears. It is always great to hear what kids are genuinely thinking and glad this was so well received! 😊 @GlobePequot @RLPGBooks #picturebook #myamclure
