When the idea of I Survived graphix was first proposed, I never imagined the possibilities. Each of the 5 so far has been a glorious new way for kids to access history & my stories. Here’s a sneak peek of our summer ‘23 release, another beauty. @scholastic@GraphixBooks
@BxComma @TracyAObringer@JayWamsted I once had a student bouncing on an exercise ball chair and it slipped and she hit the ground. My proudest moment was that I didn’t laugh - I checked on her first - although it was the funniest thing I’d ever seen! (She was fine!)
We’re doing Protagonist Madness this March and I’m beaming hearing all the conversations about books that my kids are having!
Some filled brackets out for who would win in a fight and the discussion was so entertaining!
Teachers, to start off 2022, I'm offering two free 30-minute virtual appearances. I can talk about writing, share a preview of I Survived in progress, or whatever you would like. No limit to the number of students, can do grades 3-8. RT to enter. I will notify winners 1/10.
The 7th graders spent class reading new novels in small groups and they’ll continue all week. In between making the rounds to check on groups, I even got to read a little. Heading into the home stretch!
I’m thankful to say I was one of those this week! Shout out to Peggy at the Woodruff @Walgreens for being my hero and giving me the first dose! And to @SraKraemer for telling me when appointments were open so I could get one!
As of today, 1,000,000 Wisconsinites have received their first dose of the #COVID19 vaccine. I'm so incredibly proud of our state and deeply grateful to every single Wisconsinite who has worked tirelessly to make this possible.
Let's get this done, folks!
@GovEvers Can you send some of those up north to Vilas County?! We’re so discouraged waiting for our turn up here (in-person teacher whose daughter got covid at school here)
@DHSWI I’m just a teacher, who has been in-person all year, begging you to help me get vaccinated. I was just told the absolute earliest is March 29. Why do I feel so low on the list?!
