Oh my heart! 🥰 #MeetEmersyn

This interesting member of the katydid family is the broad-tipped conehead. It really likes this cusion and has been hanging out there the last couple days! #AlwaysWonder

@bswolffie How sweet!!💗

I love doing this every year. Such a cute goodbye gift for my class 🥰🥰🥰

@MsBurriOCSB @JenniferAGates @ocsbArts Looks like messy fun!!😍

Our classroom got a little messy today! 🎨📰 We began a special paper mâché project. This hands-on activity encouraged creativity and patience while helping students explore different art techniques and textures. Can’t wait to see the final creations come to life! ✨@ocsbArts

Amazing!!😍

@FuneverWriting @Canes Let’s hope so! Go Canes!🌀

Well, the last time my husband showed interest in hockey was in 2006 when the @Canes won the Stanley Cup. Now, 20 years later, because of getting snowed in for days, he picked up a love for hockey and the Canes are going back to the Stanley Cup. Is he the lucky token?

@JLockettAuthor1 That’s fantastic, Jake!👏🏼

@MsInnerfield @RuthJoy96960173 They are definitely wonderful kids!!🥰

@RuthJoy96960173 Thank you! I have a feeling I’m going to think of this group for a long, long time.

Some classes are just that special. Have a great summer.

@MrSTEmurray Oh yikes!!!

Nailed it! Glad to see my toaster is matching my current mood.

@KevinSnyder71 Thank you for your years of working with kids and educators, Kevin! Congratulations!

#Retired from public education today. I spent 33 years as a teacher and administrator in rural Ohio. Proud of the work I did. Looking forward to some relaxation, recreation, and vacation.

What an experience for these kids! So cool!🚀

@TKtalksSTEAM The pictures say it all! Amazing experience they’ll never forget!🚀

What looked like a rocket launch event was actually something much deeper. As students loaded their rockets and prepared for launch, conversations were unfolding around circuitry, conductors, energy sources, and energy transfer. They weren’t just “doing an activity” — they were applying science concepts in real time with purpose and excitement. That’s the power of PBL. It’s more than an event. It fundamentally shifts how students interact with knowledge — from memorizing concepts to using them authentically. #PBL #Authentic @SammonSTEAM @WCSDEmpowers @steammachinepd @drbonkwcsd @GayheadWCSD

@AlexWaldoBooks The BEST place to have a sandwich! Always tastes so much better at the beach!

Today, we sandwich. Tomorrow, we write.

@jendoehring @marisa @charlesbridge Congratulations! How gorgeous!!😍

A WONDERFUL KIRKUS REVIEW for “Landing in a New Pond”, written by @marisa.bardach.ramel and published by @charlesbridgepublishing. I had so much fun illustrating each beautiful season and I can’t wait for you all to read this delightful picture book! #picturebooks #kidlitart

Ohhh, another great one from @WhyEdifyGuy today! “That's the gratitude worth practicing. Not the kind that dismisses struggle, but the kind that refuses to let struggle be the only story.”🔥 jeremyajorgensen.com/the-g-in-stron…

HAPPY BOOK BIRTHDAY to ENOUGH TO SHARE! You only get one debut picture book & I’m forever grateful to the village who helped this one come to life. @tielmourpress, who truly understood it & the immensely talented @suetoddillustration

@MaryHelenBerg @TielmourPress Congratulations, Mary! Beautiful message, beautiful illustrations!💗

@dailystem I’m guess there are several Gen Xers walking around with scars!🤣🤣

Did anyone have a Snippy “electric paper scissors” as a kid? Saw this at a flea market, said it was “safe” & “can’t cut fingers”
