Such a pleasure to be apart of a wonderful team of educators! I learn so much from you all always!

[Kelly Welsh @KellyRWelsh]

I could not be more proud of @SutterMS_LAUSD for sharing #remotelearning practices with the @dpvils community. Our Ts accept the support of our partners @dpvils @LASchools @ITI_LAUSD @LAUSDNorthwest @nickmelvoin to meet the needs of our 21st century Ss!! You truly CARE for Ss!

@CRSRipley Please share the recipe!! I have the same dietary restrictions, and not being able to eat Mac and Cheese is the absolute saddest thing in my life.

[Ms. Anastascio @TellTaleTeachr]

Thank you for supporting teachers! I am still a new teacher, and last year I truly did break the bank. Us teachers need all of the help that we can get! -Ms. Anastascio

@missessp I teach “The Absolutely True Diary of a Part Time Indian” by Sherman Alexie. During Back to School night, I provide parents with an intro. I allow parents to ask questions/explain why I chose the book and I also send home letters to parents that they sign.

[Ms. Anastascio @TellTaleTeachr]

Attention middle school English teachers: What are some culturally responsive books that you have taught that were particularly successful in terms of student engagement?

[Ms. Anastascio @TellTaleTeachr]

@AbbyRombalski @ncte With struggle comes resistance and triumph :)

[Ms. Anastascio @TellTaleTeachr]

@mrsg_mchs Love this! Thank you

[Ms. Anastascio @TellTaleTeachr]

@AbbyRombalski @ncte My school demographics are about 90% Hispanic and have a high percentage of African-American students as well, so any book that discusses the struggles of POC. Any book that features a protagonist who my students can relate to is 👌🏾

[Ms. Anastascio @TellTaleTeachr]

@lipatel @AbbyRombalski @ncte True. I gave a little more context- I’m looking for novels where the protagonist is a young minority. My goal is to get the students discussing social issues surrounding people of color.

[Ms. Anastascio @TellTaleTeachr]

@missessp Yes! I love teaching this book. I teach it in the spring :)

[Ms. Anastascio @TellTaleTeachr]

@magicalmsmurphy @ncte “The Rose That Grew From Concrete” would be a great poem to start the year off with to get the students thinking about having a growth mindset and overcoming the obstacles that will come this school year.

[Ms. Anastascio @TellTaleTeachr]

@magicalmsmurphy @ncte Ah yes, the @! Thank you!

[Ms. Anastascio @TellTaleTeachr]

Currently considering: The Hate U Give, I Am Malala, and Ghost Boys

[Ms. Anastascio @TellTaleTeachr]

Please help me provide my students with a culturally responsive novel that will promote discussion and critical thinking surrounding current social issues. Donations to my classroom are currently being matched! #thehateugive https://t.co/PVS7dLmOcI
