Hi, I’m Gooch.

See that truck and trailer? I drive it to different communities to give books to children in need. Oh and I bring my horse with me.

RT so I can get the word out. I’m in N.C.

You can use this interactive template for online learning if you are doing some synchronous sessions with your students. But it can also be fun for when schools reopen, and we all go back to “normal”.

Racism is like a virus, argues Jason Reynolds, and cultivating an antiracist mind-set could be the vaccine we desperately need. https://t.co/6TZsemOom6

Here’s why good, socially conscious books for young people are so important (now and always). Most adults read to reinforce their own ideology. They want to say, Yes, that’s what I think, too. Young people are still formulating an ideology. They read more openly.
