In the first three months of students having access to our new diverse books, these books have been checked out over 8000 times! That’s 14% of our total circulations, even though the books are only 6% of our collections. Kids are loving these books! #wehavediversebooks

Telling children who love graphic novels that "graphic novels do not help you grow as a reader," is not true and diminishes the children right along with the books. Reading doesn't belong to school. It belongs to readers. Value them!

I've been recommending that teachers embed YouTube videos into Google Slides, then share the slides preview or publish link to avoid ads, but you can now watch YouTube videos in Google Docs via the preview button. Thanks for the tip @TomEMullaney! https://t.co/TAeNgutJ7E
