#NCTE25 in Denver showed a growing body of work around climate justice in English classrooms, K-20.
There were also many bitter sweet 😢moments remembering the work and spirit of Dr. Sheridan Blau. His one-of-kind personality touched many, and his work lingers large

It seems like the trees in CT are almost done shedding their leaves this season, just as we wrap up #WriteOut. As the song goes,
“The leaves have fallen all around.
Time I was on my way.
Thanks to you. I’m much obliged.
Such a pleasant stay.”
Thanks @writingproject.bsky.social for a great year.

I love this idea of wonder walkers. Here’s my rainy wonder walk.
My wonders:
🍁Is the wind leaf’s transportation?
🐜Is a puddle an ant’s ocean?
💧Is the rain a drought’s just response?
