“I think it’s worth when it goes right to take the chance that it could go wrong.” @tjenkinsreid on taking chances and watching her books be adapted into film.

Listening to @tjenkinsreid with a packed house at the #MontclairLiteraryFestival. Can’t wait to read #CarrieSotoIsBack

We are never too old for picture books! Reading them first gives Ss contextual knowledge to make sense of primary sources- @CaptainLibrary More reasons to curate a middle school picture book collection #NJASLSpring22 @NJASL

Love the idea to spotlight Library Leaders outside the library and give badges for accomplishments. Wendy Pray’s ideas will help me breathe new life into the BRMS library asst. program. @njasl #NJASLSpring22

“Judging book covers is a gateway to CER”-@KatieJMcNamara Can’t wait to use judging covers to promote critical thinking and empower Ss to read books they will love. @NJASL #NJASLSpring22

I’m getting great ideas to liven up book talks, reading responses, and grow a manga collection for my Ss at #NJASLSpring22 @NJASL @oonziela @teachinaTARDIS #livelaughlove

It might be time for this teacher to go back to school when she asks her toddler “What was your takeaway from that movie?” after watching a Disney movie.

It is always a pleasure to have you visit! I’m proud of the teamwork and problem-solving these Ss practiced today. #wearechesternj

@librariankqm In a library class in 2017 I started an #ownvoices discussion but a fellow (male white) student mansplained to me that #ownvoices are not necessary because “writers are creative and can do research.” Similar argument was given by a prof. in 2018

[Jacquelyn Tasker @JacquelynTasker]

@librariankqm We touched on information seeking habits of BIPOC and the lack of research on such habits in HIB, and discussed racism in some cataloging practices, and of course the need for #diversebooks but that’s it. My focus was school librarianship.

Do you have a story to tell? Channel it all onto the page with one of BRMS’s brand new writer’s guides! #wearechesternj

@halseanderson CloudLibrary is my least favorite digital book platform, but mine has been working well lately! In March/April it was garbage and crashed all the time. Maybe my secret is that I haven’t updated the app in a while??

Hi all! Sadly, I have been informed that MANY of my templates are being sold on TpT. Please know that this is NOT right. What I do and share for FREE is for you to use in your classroom (virtual or physical), for PD sessions or presentations, but not to be sold. Thank you!
