Just finished the podcast #SoldaStory. I’m floored. Especially the research saying leveled reading interventions HARM kids. I know MCPS uses Benchmark assessment and level literacy reading. I’m late to the podcast but wondering if anyone is digging into this locally @mxespey

My thoughts on Florida House Bill 999:

America’s greatness stems not from its suppression of our complicated history but our willingness to engage and understand it. Each generation has helped further bring to life the values articulated in the Declaration… (1/3)

“For some of us, books are as important as almost anything else on earth. What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet or excite you.” ~@ANNELAMOTT
