- Here’s a screenshot from my Truth Social account with recent photos of me and my family enjoying our lives in Portland, playing in a park, walking around at NIGHT IN DOWNTOWN-Mr. Trump, please leave Portland in peace. Im so worried and distraught my stomach hurts.🙏🏻 #ilovepdx #portlandoregon #pdx
- I’m retiring again!! I will still read and write quizzes, but after this year, I’m not going to pressure myself to finish all the OBOB titles each year. #battleofthebooks #homeschool #librariansofinstagram #obob #oregonbattleofthebooks #ťeachersofinstagram #aidenthomas Bit.ly/bobqc82325

- At the dentist's office on my ipad, a boy and girl with their mom talking with the receptionist. The girl came over and asked if I had art apps. Her brother drew this dragon. The moral of this story: you can take a teacher out of a classroom, but the kids are gonna find her in the dentist's office!
- I stopped providing links to titles on Amazon because I don’t want to take business away from smaller bookstores or libraries. Most of the links in my blog to books are to LIBBY, the library app and website, so you can check them out for free. bit.ly/bobqc-disabledpride
- Any day I expect them to start teaching kids to point and laugh at kids who are different from them. :-(

- This is one example of why I don’t buy the excuse some people make for old racists…that they were just a product of their era. Like they had no choice. Everyone has 3 choices: to support good, to support evil, or to be a coward and not stand for anything. www.visitjackson.com/.../joan-tru...
- This is a 2 minute 30 second video demo showing how to use Quizlet with the Battle of the Books Quiz Center quizzes. I think it's a much more fun way to study, because it makes the quizzes into interactive games that can be played alone or in groups. I love Quizlet!! bit.ly/Quizletbob
- Bit.ly/cityofember14 - In Chapter 14 of The City of Ember by Jeanne DuPrau, Doon and Lina make a thrilling discovery deep beneath the city. #CityOfEmber #ReadAloud #MiddleGradeBooks #JeanneDuPrau #BattleOfTheBooks #DystopianReads #Chapter14 #BookTube
- It makes me really ANGRY that some state governments are canceling Juneteenth celebrations. Why in the world would we NOT celebrate AMERICANS gaining their FREEDOM?!
- This is an exerpt from the book, The Million Dollar Race by Matthew Ross Smith, one of the 3-5 level titles selected for the 2026 Oregon Battle of the Books. It’s ironic how we teach certain values to our students, but then contradict them in real life. #teachers #retiredteachers #teachingwithheart

- I believe that principals should be observed and evaluated regularly throughout their career, just like teachers are. What do you think?
- Chapter 2 - City of Ember by Jeanne Duprau - bit.ly/cityofember2 Poll: Should I take the time to create the illustrations and put them next to me reading? Or should I move on to the next chapter? #middlegradebooks #homeschool #dystopianfiction #librarians #teachers #cityofember #jeanneduprau
