We’re so glad to have Phyllis Ferguson with @TNFarmBureau read & chat with our students about sourcing our favorite snacks for Agriculture Literacy Week! The Bureau donated a copy of “Let’s Pop, Pop, Popcorn” by Cynthia Schuberth to every elementary school in our district! 🍿🌽

This gave me joy today. An engaging read aloud with 2nd graders that reinforces both social studies AND AASL framework standards. Way to go Ms. Frazier at McFadden! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 #thankful

Last night, I participated in the @readtosucceed annual celebrity spelling bee. Big congrats to Katie Turner, Youth Services Coordinator at Linebaugh for taking home the trophy! @rclstn 🎉 It was really cool to meet other literacy enthusiasts in our community.

What a treat! Today, I joined Smyrna High School students as they learned how to be true archivists of historical primary documents at the Tennessee State Library and Archives. The curator and cataloger in me was overjoyed. Kudos @SHSLibrary37167 for providing this opportunity!

Proud dad moment! When your son comes to speak to your students about his career (creative designer for @Adobe) and the impacts of AI in his field and the ethical responsibility of using AI. And a bonus… got to see my grandson! #grandpaLife @TFAA_Rams @rucoschools @mrsjgehrke

Loved meeting Mr. Greene yesterday at @RockyForkMS, the great, great grandson of Frederick Douglass. It was really cool to witness students make real connections between their Amplify unit and Mr. Greene’s message of literacy and legacy. 🇺🇸
