@MarcusLuther6 “To This Day” by Shane Koyczan is fantastic! The spoken word poem and video — and his TED performance — soooo good.

Even more excited to start teaching Long Way Down — with Ms. Bibat — to our eighth graders next week. 📚 📝 😃

P.S. Stamped: Racism, Antiracism, & You (A REMIX of [Kendi’s] National Book Award-winning Stamped from the Beginning) = an AMAZING, important read! 📚

How much do I love Jason Reynolds? 🤔 📚 This afternoon, a former parent emailed me about his upcoming author’s visit. She wanted to make sure I purchased tickets. ❤️

Super excited to read his upcoming young adult book — Twenty-four Seconds from Now…A Love Story.
