Every single school should have a library & a school librarian, to help every single child find the books that will make them readers & give them all the benefits of literacy! Libraries & librarians change children's lives FOREVER! #SchoolLibrarianDay

"Our books, the books that are being banned, can give kids a clear, true view of the world all around us”: see author-illustrator Grace Lin’s (@pacylin) powerful speech from the Walter Dean Myers Awards for Outstanding Literature https://t.co/F2WX58foPM
Confirmed by teacher friends in Sarasota County Florida:
Recently teachers in Sarasota Co. were told:
*No purchases or donations of any kind of books or reading materials
*No Scholastic book orders for teachers
*No book fairs
As LFJ Director Jalaya Liles Dunn says here, "An inclusive education is a space where we all are at the table together. We all hear everyone's story." No matter what, we'll continue to fight for every educator and student to have a seat at that table. https://t.co/dXR1pQLDq0
Thank you, @pernilleripp, for reminding teachers to breathe and to do the best we can...and allow ourselves to turn it off and enjoy life outside of teaching.
Dear Teacher https://t.co/8hdxyMWiKC
This documentary is heartbreaking, powerful, and magnifies the tragic disparities in our edu system. It confirms my purpose. Go to the hard places. Do the big work. Be the change you wish to see. I’ll continue to learn and advocate so my kiddos (and all kiddos) receive the best.
