It’s my #NKCLastDay in a building that’s been home for three years, the building where I joined the #nkclibraries department, and a community where I forged some deep and meaningful relationships.

Next year in #TonkaNation !

Days like today are why people go into education in the first place.

Librarians are working hard all the way to the end! Justin Hofstetter, Ed.S hosted author Angela Cervantes for 3rd and 4th grade Linden West Elementary Library . Students are engaged - awesome real world experience! NKC Schools Becky Kroenke Chad Sutton Brett Potts

Our third and fourth graders are super blessed to be learning from the incredible Angela Cervantes isn't here-follow me elsewhere in the Linden West NKC Library! #nkclibraries

The student at center is teaching the other two how to play and coaching them on their available legal moves. The kids are alright. Linden West NKC #nkclibraries

Confirmed dawg.

Did Kevin Brown just drop a Savage Garden reference for that walkoff?!? #TrulyMadlyDeeply

I have an admission to make: when my distant relatives emigrated from Ukraine to America many years ago their name was Rubensplash but a clerk at Ellis Island changed it to Rubenstein. Finally, I can publicly embrace my heritage. Go Baltimore Orioles

When Linden West NKC fifth graders don’t have room to code robots because of the Book Fair, it’s time to explore some AI with Code.org ! #nkclibraries

College students tear up campus after a football game or abuse pledges during hazing, but a bunch of valedictorians reading poetry on the lawn necessitates the police to be brought in. Surreal.

This is how we #Birdland ! Baltimore Orioles

Today is officially a national Holliday. Baltimore Orioles #Birdland

My favorite thing I heard (so far) today:

A fourth grader warning one of her classmates not to use Sphero #Indi on our rainbow carpet because it’ll try to read the carpet as instructions. That was one of our “you learn it the hard way” lessons in third grade!

The Baltimore Orioles : we’re going to put up the best second inning in baseball.

The Norfolk Tides : Bet.

In case you were wondering, “distraught” is still too strong an adjective to describe salmon viewing.
