My old classroom had a bunch of plushies. The students would read to them sometimes or just cuddle up. It was different.

Didn’t know the term but I heard about this years ago. Elton John liked doing this. Fun little factoid.

Had to be DragonCon. Beats the cosplay everywhere else just based on originality. Miss this mess!

When I taught explorers in 4th grade I would read Encounter by Jane Yolen. A story of Columbus from the Taino point of view. As honest as you can get at that grade level. Great artwork. My South/Central American kids would tell me what their parents thought of the explorers. They were NOT in the explorer fan club. I love honest parents.

Thank you. I really tried. Taught elementary for about 25 years. Kids are fun. I miss it.

I totally would have used this with my third graders. And penguins.

Back to the kids’ table you little joker.

The Dark Tower by Stephen King. It was the book in name alone.

If it works for you then it works.

Real patriots.

You die fabulous.

But what about the drag queens?

I got popcorn!

Which is which?

Now THAT is metal!

Still not her fault.

Freaking LARP’er. Have to play dress up.

Still no drag queens.

Retired and don’t miss this at all.

A hug.
