The best PD I continue to engage in over the last 20 years is getting a chance to observe my colleagues in action
Well if this isn’t me in every Uber ever

Snow day means I can finally watch @kagustafson’s show with @TWCAlexWilson @wunderground ❄️☃️
Kendall’s turkey is in her Thanksgiving Era #nothingtoseehere @taylorswift13
Happiness is…seeing kids do what they love! Thanks for letting me crash part of Lockport Robotics Club! So cool to see everything in action! @MrMostynSTEM
Hey, so, looks like no one under the age of 18 will have access to Overdrive or Hoopla in the state of Mississippi anymore. Any Mississippi librarians have more info? firstregional.org/newlawebooks/
It would be really helpful if @AmazonKindle created some way for me to ping my Kindle every time I misplace it. It’s like I go on a scavenger hunt each night searching for it.
Yes, tragedy is tragedy, but @stillwerise_ put my thoughts into words.
We are excited to welcome newcomers to the @LockportHS205 Robotics Club tomorrow at our @VEXRobotics 2023-2024 season opening meeting!
Big girl doing big girl things like reading me a bedtime story @The_Pigeon
So many of us in the classroom are struggling to help kids find motivation and to engage in the learning these days. I'm hoping to crowdsource ideas, and I'm always a fan of little changes with impact. What has been something you've changed that has helped in this area?
Another school shooting today but go ahead and keep acting like books are the problem.
Kendall’s leprechaun house, not trap, because “he gets to decide if he stays or not because it’s his body”
We were so fortunate to have @DanielaMalcz speak to my classes about her refugee experience as we read Refugee by @AlanGratz
My 5 yo booked me an “appointment” at her Library-Spa (love this!) but just told me she also has ear piercing and now I’m scared 🫣
I’m not sure how I am supposed to take @Verizon saying my name is not valid? I know I don’t have a common name, but c’mon…🤔

Thank you C.C.C. Students, Sue Herring, and Brandon Morrone for the best #paraappreciation day ever! @DrJohnGreenan @PorterSup205
Congratulations to seniors Isabella Steffgen and Chase Manegold! This morning they were honored at the Illinois Principals Association Three Rivers Region Student Recognition Celebration at the Joliet Renaissance Center! #BestSelfBestWork #TogetherWeSucceed #BestTogether
That’s huge. Reminder that there’s only one party actively trying to make your life better— the other one just wants to give tax breaks to their rich friends
BREAKING: Airlines will now have to pay you when they mess up. The Department of Transportation has issued a new rule requiring airlines to give you an automatic refund if your flight is canceled or delayed or if they lose your bags. It’s a game changer for U.S. travel.
I’m grateful for colleagues and collaboration. Last week at our HELM event the skill and learning of our teachers and counselors was on full display. So humbling to see and hear the creativity & commitment. Thanks to @loriecristofaro for leading this event! #besttogether
It’s once in a lifetime that someone like @taylorswift13 comes into this world. I am floored by your heart and your mind, and I am beyond honored to have been asked to help you with your journey 🥹 I love you so much. Thank you Tay 💕
Appreciative of the opportunity to join other members of the @UofStFrancis staff in volunteering at the Northern Illinois Food Bank yesterday as part of the university’s commitment to service within the community.
Congratulations Travis and Ed Kelce managed to be on a Taylor Swift album in their rookie year #TSTTPD
ajjuliani.com/blog/four-ai-t… #4 is my beloved Snorkl 🥰 I had a blast presenting about it to my colleagues yesterday. It’s been a tremendous addition to my class!
Reading fiction has small but meaningful benefits for empathy. 70 experiments: concern for and understanding of others grow more through reading novels than watching shows and movies. Immersion in words about imaginary worlds can help us see realities beyond our own.
Fantastic afternoon of connecting, sharing, and learning at #HELM23. As @PorterSup205 said in his closing, “engagement matters” for teachers, students, and citizens in our democracy. When teachers learn more, students learn more! #PorterPride
We also had some fun playing Rock-Paper-Scissors today…with a twist!!
The LTHS Board of Education appointed Mr. Robert Beach as the Assistant Principal for Curriculum and Instruction beginning July 1. Congratulations! #PorterPride
An inspiring first this afternoon! LTHS D205 welcomed 31 students & their teachers from the Yamate Senior High School in Yokohama, Japan. This two-week immersive exchange promises to be incredible learning and connecting. @LockportHS205
