when Virginia Woolf said, “Autumn is my season, dear; it is, after all, the season of the soul” and when F. Scott Fitzgerald said, “Life starts all over again when it gets crisp in the fall” and when Anne Shirley said, “I’m so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers.”

@literati Hi! I know that you've transitioned entirely to kids books. I was in @jesmimi 's club (it was an amazing experience; I'm teaching her book again this year) and I'm wondering if there are archived conversations anywhere? :)

@Jess5th I love this so much! Really great questions!!!

@LauraNicosia I finally read an @AS_King novel and absolutely loved it. Dig! So intricate, tender, and thought-provoking.

Independent reading is not about a level; it’s not about a certain number of minutes. Independent reading is that reading we do that helps us develop independent thoughts - not thoughts directed by anyone else.

@SashaSagan @TridentBooks Will you be doing any more? On weekends? In the NY/NJ area? :)

[Tyler Rablin @Mr_Rablin]

I've given a survey to now thousands of kids in multiple districts that have asked me to work with them around assessment and grading.

Here are the questions:
1. Do grades help you learn?
2. How do grades make you feel?
3. Why do teachers give grades?

A thread...

Happy birthday to Jane Goodall (b. 1934), a hero of mine since childhood. A *very fine* writer; more importantly, a worldly light.
