It has been a long day (we welcomed some students back in person) and I am losing steam big time. Glad my mug thinks I'm the "World's Best Taker-over-er"! https://t.co/U1SUhygzCs
Today's read was wonderful (and I expect nothing less from beckyalbertalli and anyone she writes with). Can't wait to read more from @aishacs once I get through the excitement of back-to-school! https://t.co/GAS3NJE0AE
Apparently I have been living under a rock, but I am STOKED to read Dear Justyce when it comes out this fall. It will have to be added to my classroom library alongside The Hate U Give and Dear Martin.
Fellow educators, please take note: we need to shift our culture to one that values reading for the reading itself, not just the ability to answer questions.

GIVEAWAY! We all need more books while social distancing, right? RT & follow by noon ET on Monday, March 23 for a chance to win a signed ARC of The Cousins! International ok!
Finished #InfinitySon tonight and while I loved the whole ride, this end of the acknowledgments got to me. Believe in magic and you will find it. ✨ https://t.co/SaZGmFtiZL
Convinced a self-proclaimed non-reader to try @writerkmc 's One of Us books today, and I'm calling it a win.
Related: I really need another sequel because those books are phenomenal. 📕
My students can blame @Lin_Manuel for one of their first assignments of the semester...
🎶"Remember the story of your name..."
Names are an important part of our identities. It's important that our students know we value theirs.
Your work as an educator can’t be effectively quantified.
Not by test scores.
Not by evaluation ratings.
Not by value added measures.
Education is a human endeavor and your value is more than a number.
What you do matters.
You go above and beyond every day for kids.
