When your readaloud’s about wrestling, it’s not like you can wrestle wrestle. So kindergartners did the next best thing. #thumbwars @bookishfox @WashingtonSch63

Of course we librarians are twinning to celebrate Halloween. @WashingtonD63 @apolloD63 @EastMaine63

@historycomics I need this exact book exactly now. Hope I'm not too late for the give-away!! Please pick me!

@bluestemaward @SaadiaFaruqi @AISLEd_org Super excited. I just finished A Thousand Questions and can’t wait to booktalk it with my students. We’ll be trying to get a spot on the author visit for sure!!

A favorite fifth grader didn’t realize we’re twinning for “T for Twin Day.” But I did and he happily agreed. We’re the Promoting Reading Twins!! @WashingtonD63 #63forward

Last week I read Under My Hijab to kindergarten. @henakhanbooks A student offered her expertise on when, where, and why women wear hijab. This week she gave a demonstration. She had a rapt audience. #AAPIHeritageMonth @WashingtonD63 #63forward

Oh my, the cheering that erupted when the final sticker was placed. Students earned a sticker each time their books were returned. Today we placed the 3,996th, final, sticker. @byStickTogether

@sljournal Hadn't read it, but booktalked @rosenafung's Living With Viola today. Students were competing to see who'd get it first. Guess it'll be a while before I get to read it.

First Gabby’s words took us to the places her daydreams took her. Then we traveled virtually to those same places for inspiration to next write about our own “Words With Wings.”Combining great literature with incredible technology. @nikkigrimes9 @ClassVR @WashingtonD63 #63success

I learned a new-to-me Kagan strategy, Showdown, at 7:20 and used it at 8:00. Students love to teach the teacher! I’m lucky🍀 to have great coaches. #63forward @WashingtonD63 @GinaDellAringa @_MsPalucki

My third grader was thrilled to dress as his favorite book character, Omar. Discovered because of @bluestemaward. @Zendibble @WashingtonD63 #ReadAcrossAmerica

@storiestolife I just listened to the audiobook. Loved hearing YOUR voice reading YOUR words. Books should be mirrors. Students should see themselves AND hear themselves.

[Washington LMC @Washington_LMC]

@PTOGlenview @EastMaine63 I had a donut for breakfast and for tonight’s dessert. My thighs thank you!

[Washington LMC @Washington_LMC]

3rd-5th students had so so many questions for @Zendibble about her Planet Omar books and her career as a writer. Books that are mirrors (and windows) are so important - and popular with @WashingtonD63 students. Thanks @bluestemaward for this opportunity.

The Unstoppable Garrett Morgan inspired unstoppable students who were guided in their building by Morgan’s motto. @joaniefld @bluestemaward @WashingtonD63 @Angelos5thGrade

Celebrating Native American culture is not just for #IndigenousPeoplesDay. We learned anyone can pow wow at any time for any reason. @mrsmerriott @WashingtonD63 #63foward

Tech details derailed our visit from @Editor_Keir but he promised a redo. My first and kinders were thrilled to meet “real” authors, @artlafaye and @AliceBMcGinty. #ReadALOUDIllinois @Washington_LMC @WashingtonD63

The books are ready! The books are ready! During their library google meeting, students in grades 3-5 learned how to get hold-em-in-your-hands books. Skipped library class? Watch for detailed instructions via email soon. #63success @WashingtonD63 @brenglenn
