Dr. Kay Sellers-Carte

Perfect racing conditions for the first ever Corgi race at the Colonial Cup. #olivedutton’s first race was a success. Thanks to the Colonial Cup @CarolinaCup for hosting such a fun event. She’ll be back to defend her title next year😁

Fine then, I’ll take it, the tree seems to say, a new slick leaf unfurling like a fist to an open palm, I’ll take it all. —Ada Limón poets.org/poem/instructi…

In this week’s March Madness Poetry Bracket, @ClintSmithIII’s poem, “Here Nor There,” and @phil_kaye’s, “Before the Internet,” move on to the next round. #teachlivingpoets #aplit

Let’s talk teaching ELA Grade Level and Favorite texts to teach: Seniors Beowulf (Heaney translation) Short Story: Good County People Novel: The Road Poem: Pass On by Michael Lee, anything by Marcus Amaker or @RudyFrancisco or Plath Play: Othello and The Glass Menagerie

I still have my battered anthology of poems from my first college poetry class and looking back at the annotations a much younger me left on this poem reminded me of the first time I was introduced #LouiseGlück ‘s work. Thank you♥️ poetryfoundation.org/poems/49610/th…

I’m amazed at teacher contracts…specifically what little time (prep) is provided for teachers to actually get stuff done. If teachers ONLY worked contractual hours, 90% of the needed work wouldn’t happen even for the most efficient ones. 🤔

For perspective, I took REAL stories about teachers and just replaced them with other professions. If you think these are insane, then you should feel the same when it is about teachers...

Teachers shouldn’t have to set up wishlists each year to get supplies for students in their classrooms. When corporations need pens and printer ink, they don’t run to social media and beg for supplies. #clearthelist by making sure the 💰 gets to the classrooms in the first place

Frankenmonster fun today in #aplit as the students brought their Frankenfamily creations to life #cfhs #allaboutthesymbolism
