"Teaching about Thanksgiving in a socially responsible way means that educators accept the ethical obligation to provide students with accurate information and to reject traditions that sustain harmful stereotypes about Indigenous peoples."

Educators and #kidlit authors.
I get it. Nostalgia is a fabulous high.
Nostalgia for a racist/sexist/homophobic/ableist book is understandable. We all read trash.
Remember and revel in the event, in the feeling, but leave that awful book behind.

It takes a monster to kill children. But to watch monsters kill children again and again and do nothing isn’t just insanity—it’s inhumanity.

During the winter holidays, even some of the most well-meaning and casual conversations in schools—such as those about gifts and meals—can serve to marginalize and alienate students experiencing poverty. Take a thoughtful approach.

When I was student teaching in NYC, Kevin was one of my students. He’s now a 21-year-old college senior 😭 His story is really amazing.

A New York family who came together by chance 21 years ago has now shared their remarkable story in a children's book.

@PrincipalSS_JP @princetonK12 @Mridula_Bajaj @DrG_JP Thanks for leading it, Angela! Can’t wait to use circles with my students and colleagues!

They were able to describe characters using that vocabulary and give evidence for their thinking! #ppspdspot

Framing history in that way makes it so relevant to current events. #ppspdspot

I loved the symmetry of the beginning and ending of Root Magic. So beautifully written and a great reflection on the connections to family and ancestors. @suehellerjp @EdenRoyce #ppspdspot

[Sarah Robey @MsRobeyMPE]

@suehellerjp @EdenRoyce I loved the ending! I also was a bit worried in the middle - the Susie reveal was a little much for me. But everything came together so well at the end! #ppspdspot

[Sarah Robey @MsRobeyMPE]

@suehellerjp The marsh scene in ch 13 was so scary! Really suspenseful and creepy. But I loved how her discovering her power helped connect her to her Gran and other ancestors. #ppspdspot

I’m almost as unsure about the new Sheriff as Mama is. I think he means well, but I understand why Mama is skeptical that things will actually change. Especially bc of the issues our country still has with policing communities of color. #ppspdspot

[Sarah Robey @MsRobeyMPE]

@suehellerjp I’ve been thinking about Doc a lot. Would love to read his story! Adult or young adult book? Prequel or sequel? I would take any of em! Such a great secondary character. #ppspdspot

[Sarah Robey @MsRobeyMPE]

@suehellerjp Yay! I love watching a new friendship blossom. #ppspdspot

[Sarah Robey @MsRobeyMPE]

Reading Root Magic has me thinking a lot about a book I read over winter break, Magic Lessons, the prequel to Practical Magic. Similar magic, similar themes of acceptance, but of course the European tradition is more familiar to me. So glad I'm reading this now! #ppspdspot
