In honor of #donorschooseproject & #TeacherAppreciationWeek, I'm going to shout out @EmilyRCWilson who I am THRILLED is translating "The Iliad," and tell her what her work has meant to my class. I will also share the hilarity of teens explaining "The Odyssey" for the rest of you.

I rail every year in my class about how I am STILL WAITING for a big budget, actually GOOD version of The Odyssey to be made. Is this what dogs feel like when they catch the car?? 😄😄 Srsly tho if Nolan does my girl Penelope dirty we riot

Fascinating stuff, this.

Hey everybody! It’s my book!! I’m so excited to share it with you!!

If you’re looking to 🙏 a teacher for #TeacherAppreciationWeek, I applaud you! Even little things are ❤️ Also, please vote for me for America’s Favorite Teacher! (See, when it comes to 🙏 I’m easy.) vote daily to help get a #houston teacher to the top! americasfavteacher.org/dashb…

Best part of my year: my students shouting at me about how this book ruined their lives and broke their hearts and they can’t stop thinking about it and it’s the best book they’ve ever read and they’ll love it forever and that’s all my fault 😉

Last 10 hours til they pick the Top 20 America’s Favorite Teachers, and I’m in 2nd! Would love to get a Texas high school book-obsessed teacher in the top 20 at least. If you’ve got a moment, I’d appreciate your vote! americasfavteacher.org/2024/… #houston #Houston #teachertwitter

Well, it’s official: I’m in the running for America’s Favorite Teacher! Please, if you feel like you can vote to support me, you can vote for free once a day, every day! americasfavteacher.org/2024/… #teachertwitter #teacher #pearland #Houston #Texas

I’m so, so excited to be able to say that my first book is coming out next year with @SleepingBearBks!! Never thought I’d get a children’s book published and here we are! #Authors #AuthorsOfTwitter #kidlit

Me when my classroom is the furniture-strewn aftermath of a hurricane and they drop off boxes so presenters can use my room tomorrow.

Giving a presentation tomorrow about AI in education! Who knew I was an expert! (I'm not. But I did a lot of research.)

Hoping to see fellow teachers on #teachertwitter get lists cleared, but of all the hot takes I've seen, no one is talking about how the hollowing out of this app will affect teachers who desperately need a place to get their lists, DonorsChooses, etc. in front of a wide audience.

Took me forever to post this, but thanks so much to @astros and @HCDEtx for sending me to my first Astros game! Such a wonderful Teacher of the Year reward, all thanks to the Astros Foundation and Harris County Education Foundation. We had a blast!!

Trying out this #alexaskillsinventor lesson today exploring voice AI... Let's see how it goes! Should be interesting! #amazonfutureengineer

GUYS GUYS GUYS GUYS Some generous parents and @figma funded the rest of my project!!!! I can't even begin with how excited I am! Please, anyone who can, do the $5 match on #DonorsChoose today, code FRIDAY! I know I will be!
