We did it! We spoke about poop at length at a national conference. 😂 So much fun sharing about using “gross” topics in the classroom to connect to kids’ humanity, raise engagement, and give kids agency! #NCTE24 @chthompson.bsky.social @kassiaowedekind.bsky.social

Quote to keep in my heart from #NCTE24: “I will always look at them (students) with an expectant (not deficit) lens.” Katherine Bomer & Matt Glover

So honored to have these two as my dear friends. So grateful for them as thought partners, critical thinking friends and co-presenters - sharing the brilliance of children. #NCTE24 has been fabulous. ❤️

I am so looking forward to connecting with some old friends and new at #ncte2024 this week! And maybe some clam chowder?
