This is what I’ve been putting my energy into lately, to help assuage the panic. I’m so proud of these kids and how they’re so proud of themselves! #TLsky #Edsky #middleschool #plantingseeds www.facebook.com/share/1GVzcs...

Which books were your favorites this year? Always so hard to choose! #TLsky

If someone can point me to screenshots of the guy who posted his first class boarding pass on SM and got massively trolled, so I can share the story with my digital literacy class, I’d be greatly appreciative! TIA

Today, at a quiet moment, a kid walked into our middle school library, took a huge deep breath, sighed deeply, and said, “Aaaah! There’s nothing like a fresh library!” My ❤️ #TLsky

Kids are allowed to hang out in our middle school library before school. Today I had one kid teaching himself to write in cursive via a YouTube video just for fun, a kid regaling a friend with the merits of Robinson Crusoe, and a pair arguing about some relatively complex genetics concepts. #TLsky

Yesterday was my last meeting as a member of the Vermont School Library Association executive board (President and then Past-President). It's been a very busy two years and looking back I'm incredibly proud of what our group has accomplished in this short time. 1/

Just for fun, who’s doing Book Madness at your school right now? Curious to see your brackets if you have them. Here’s ours this year, at the beginning of Round 3. I tried comparing characters this year instead of just books and it’s been SO fun! #TLsky #EDUsky #bookmadness

It’s not the first time I’ve been incredibly proud to be a Vermonter, and I’m sure it won’t be the last!!❤️

The racist doge guy is just a “kid” but Trayvon Martin was a dangerous “man.”

It’s super old school, a lesson I learned from @skjohns.bsky.social back when I was student teaching. But Joyce Valenza’s 700 & Nancy lesson that teaches kids how to find books in the #nonfiction section still never disappoints! #TLsky #Edusky #schoollibraries

A8 I can’t decide on one word but I want to say thank you so much, this was just what I needed to bear the post-vaca blues! It’s so easy to forget all the good things we do and focus on what we can’t get done, so I appreciate this reminder. Maybe my word is Gratitude! ❤️ #TLSkyChat

A6: I teach a media lit class in the fall semester. Students have to write their own news stories and we publish in our student-run newsletter. My next reading challenge will be a raffle reward to encourage students to write book reviews for our online catalog. Working with teachers. #TLSkyChat

A5 This is a digital space reset. I’m going to incorporate booktalks into my weekly videos, rather than just First Chapter Fridays. Here’s my first one - would love to get students to help #TLSkyChat. @mrschureads.bsky.social you’re in this one: youtu.be/8IaL3VC2fvQ?...

A2 I do Blind Date With a Book (the students love wrapping up the books), Book Madness (brackets), and a schoolwide summer reading program. I also do weekly First Chapter Friday videos, but this year I’m going to try adding some Book Buzz booktalks to the mix. #TLSkyChat

I missed the introduction. I’m Rebecca, librarian at Colchester Middle School in Colchester VT. Looking for some inspiration and procrastinating on my last night of break. 😉 #TLSkychat

A1 : I created a 7/8 grade elective that I’ll be teaching this spring called Books & Authors. I can’t wait to have fun with this class and still looking for ideas. #TLSkyChat

Mostly middle school but these were my faves that I read this year. What about you? #TLSky #EdSky #middleschoollit

It should probably be illegal to deliver the cookie dough fundraiser during book fair week. #TLsky #bookfairtired #IYKYK

Spent the afternoon at the VT state house with some awesome librarians, including my VSLA co-President, @cdabvt.bsky.social , as we testified for a senate bill which will, among other things, create a school librarian liaison at the Agency of Education.

@drtlovesbooks.bsky.social I’m looking to collab better with science teachers. In your SLJ article this fall you mentioned media literacy being part of next gen stds. Can you point me in the right direction for that? I need a good entry point! Thx

@getnicced at AASL23: “Look at what is, come up with what ifs, make it what will be”. Most inspiring conference keynote. Feeling inspired to both fight on, and take better care of my mental health ❤️
