@MikeLupica do you do author visits? Our students love your books!

Every time I put a jacket protector on a book, I think my first library assistant, Mrs. Sears (my “assistant” with 20 years experience who taught me all of my practical skills as a librarian). A reminder that when you teach someone something useful, you are always a part of them.

A #BRIGHTSPOT I observed today is that when students receive assignment feedback through Google Classroom, many reply to it. They are now seeing feedback more as a two-way conversation, than a one-directional judgment.

We end #nationalpoetrymonth2020 #onepoemaday today with a close contender for my absolute favorite poem of all time. I don't have enough Jazz in my soul to do this justice, so please watch Maya Angelou perform her poem "Still I Rise"

From arguably the greatest classic poet that you haven’t heard of, Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s sonnet “Patience Taught by Nature” reminds us that the natural world offers the most valuable lessons #onepoemaday #nationalpoetrymonth2020 #litchfieldreads

This haiku comes from the narrator of “Fight Club” by Chuck Palahniuk:
Flowers bloom and die
Wind brings butterflies or snow
A stone won’t notice

I am dead, Horatio.

Ghost: worried sick because his mom is a nurse. Patty: sanitizing her little sister to death. Sunny: planning a full on ballet to perform when this is all over. Lu: standing on the porch hoping someone drives by to see his designer mask. #SaveIndieBookstores

Today marks the anniversary of William Shakespeare’s birth AND death. Honoring his work with Sonnet 73, in which he reflects upon the fact that he is entering the final stage of life. #onepoemaday #nationalpoetrymonth2020 #litchfieldreads
