Welcome to Litsy!

A seminal & important work. So important I had to check it out from the library to read & listen to it simultaneously after having already listened to it once. I‘ve gone & purchased a hard copy too.

I‘m not looking for a gold star; I‘m looking to mine all the gold I can from Freire because American‘s are under exigent circumstances.

This is not a test! Education is under attack. The oppressive regime is here. Read. Educate yourself. Prepare.

Really interesting book about learning techniques that seem counterintuitive like mixing up topics and taking a lot of breaks. I found out some of these when I read Make It Stick, a while back. Worthwhile!

Going to take a break this summer. I know it means I‘ll have to double up on work in the fall, but I feel like if I don‘t do it this way, I‘ll just quit altogether.

So, lots of reading, lots of writing, lots of planting, lots of crochet and cross-stitch. And, maybe, I‘ll finally decide on a sewing machine and finally learn how to make Kirby pjs for my son who has outgrown children‘s clothing.

I did a lot of nodding and “yep”ing as I listened to this one, about how a subset of American society has turned against the knowledge of experts (and no doubt it‘s happening elsewhere, too). He doesn‘t offer solutions, which is of course frustrating, but then the first step to problem solving is acknowledging the problem. Thanks for bringing this to my attention, @Riveted_Reader_Melissa !

New products. I picked up TJ‘s new body sunscreen gel. They have a new mineral sunscreen too.

Worst. Slump. Ever.
My reading challenge goal is so disappointed in me! 😭
Cant seem to get into hardly anything. Tried new genres, going to the library, Kindle books, audiobooks, book books. And I‘m starting to get twitchy. Grrrr. What should I read?

Great book about Finding books that your child will love to read!

Back to work today. I almost left without a book and had to just grab one as I was heading out the door. :D Guess I‘ll be reading this next. I cannot read ebooks or audiobooks when students are in the room and I like to set an example of reading for them since many tell me they never read. :( #education
