📚Happy #BookBirthday to Nya's Long Walk, the stunning picture book based @LindaSuePark's classic, A Long Walk to Water. Brian Pinkney's beautiful watercolor illustrations bring this story to life for younger readers. #kidlit #nonfiction

@rickygervais I never before saw anyone portray grief like I felt grief. Also, how important the relationship with the dog was ❤️

The highlight of the @Scholastic Reading Summit was when the librarian from my elementary school in Anaheim, CA came and surprised me at my talk! They told me how much FRONT DESK means to the kids in the school, many of whom are still living in the motels.

@TheBloggess I would maybe sell a kidney for a Spuds shirt right now. My kids save up for tech.

@carlyandadam Awesome! Makes me think of all the chemistry and geometry applications. Plus maybe binary?

Had my students make Netflix book series based on a book they love. Gave minimal direction and said the one that looked the most like Netflix in each class would win. Here are a few to show off what they accomplished in just two classes the last week of school!! @BAM_MS_Official

We grieve for the Americans murdered in Pittsburgh. All of us have to fight the rise of anti-Semitism and hateful rhetoric against those who look, love, or pray differently. And we have to stop making it so easy for those who want to harm the innocent to get their hands on a gun.
