I'm navigating off Twitter (err, X) a bit once more. Please join me on @instagram as I build there:

Cheers to a playful, joyful, conversation-full morning at @LionsMouthBooks! Thanks for celebrating this book and this adventure with me ☺️

Don't forget to mark Sat, 4/12 from 11am to 12pm for a visit to @LionsMouthBooks! I'll be there with *All Subjects in Play* for fellow educators. (& the store has plenty of other coffee & reading delights for those not in educ who still want to come to say "hi," play, & enjoy ☺️)

✨It's Release Day!✨ Today is a special day—my debut book *All Subjects in Play* from @RoutledgeEOE is out in the world! This book is a labor of ❤️, filled with ideas for bringing play-based learning into secondary classrooms. Excited to share & thanks for supporting! #teacher

And not for our big "kids" either 🙏

This summer -- often as I was taking my own "big kids" to playful activities, I did a lot of writing about play-based learning at the secondary level Excited, honored (& admittedly nervous) to post: I'm now starting a journey with @RoutledgeEOE to publish & share those pages😄

Any @BayPortHS students attending St. Norbert College next year: I'd be happy to offer this alumni recommendation to help you save $4000:

An absolutely life-changing poem about mothers by @adalimon:

#AlumniMakingWaves Nicole Wolter, Bay Port 2016, is well on her way to becoming a doctor...then becoming a doctor again! Enrolled at Tufts University (Boston, MA) in a dual medical school/PhD program, she is studying cardiovascular disease. Full story: https://t.co/gY79PvJ24v

“If we are going to educate young people for an inclusive future, we need to ensure they experience inclusive learning experiences within inclusive schools. As educators, this means knowing exactly what ‘inclusive’ looks like at the classroom, school and system level” ½

S/O to the @BPHS_Esports alumni whose "Thanos Richards" buttons were helpful to children building a snowman -- per the Frosty song instructions (sort of) -- today 😆🤷‍♀️

Proud of how #IB embraces our ever-changing world!
