A thread 🧵

[The Funky Educator @MrKinetik]

I know some people will fuss about this. People say this book is a good look at racism, but it is incomplete in that regard. There are better books to use if you're using this to talk about the effects of racism.

@MrsStrole @FJHChargers Loving The 57 Bus prominently displayed with the work! I’m sure @DashkaSlater would too!! That’s a thinker ready to tackle all the world’s problems!

We hope the outcome of the Derek Chauvin trial will begin to bring healing to our community and address the many factors that we know adversely affect families of color. To read our full statement: https://t.co/wHLTsTHOjW

To the Black kids waiting and watching:

You matter.

You are loved.

You have worth.

You have value.

Don’t let ANYTHING tell you otherwise.

Today was the first of 4 Fridays that my students are dedicating to discussing “choice books” in small zoom groups. Ss have been prepared and are excited to talk about some of their faves, like @angiecthomas @halseanderson @JasonReynolds83. Warms this tired teacher’s ❤️!

[Mrs. Jennifer Torres @JENDTORRES]

It’s 4* and is supposed to snow. Can’t wait to get started on this @angiecthomas gem.

This may have been the hardest week of this incredibly difficult school year. So, to my students and all Royals, let me be perfectly clear:
Black Lives Matter. #HSEquity

Resist the urge to post a quote today. Make a plan to fight back against white supremacy in your life. Don’t know how white supremacist systems work, do some research. Kindness has never been enough. Don’t twist his words or intent. #HSEquity

Ironically, I started the year with Maya Angelou’s concept that words are things. Today, we will discuss the manifestation of that concept...

Um, right @SaidJacquie?

whenever people start asking if things are "appropriate" for a YA audience I wonder if they have ever talked to an actual teenager.
