Had a blast at last week's Region 16 conference learning from amazing educators and sharing some grammar and revision practices with teachers. If you ever get the chance to see @toshmcgaughy.bsky.social or Natalia Heckman (author of Building Better Writers), take advantage of it: they're amazing!
Just hanging out with educelebs here in Canyon!
