I needed to respond in someway to the events that are happening. I created this virtual book room on
@GoogleForEdu of books being read aloud on YouTube (none of these are my work). Every item in the slide is a link. Put in present mode to access them. https://t.co/Wmws4JOOWb

Kids are trying to understand racial inequity. What better way to facilitate conversations with kids than with books. Always great to talk to @NPRinskeep and recommend books by Nic Stone, @JackieWoodson, @acevedowrites, @ErikaLSanchez and @FredTJoseph.

People are conflating Critical Race Theory with History. Y’all really protesting the teaching of HISTORY in schools. And just because that history makes some uncomfortable, that doesn’t make it any less true.

@pernilleripp No read aloud space, no partner or small group work, no movement around the room. It’s all so sad.

@JustinAion @MandyRheaWrites My worst day after was the murder suicide of a family in our building. One of the children was in the other 3rd grade class, but I had her best friend. Like so many other parts of teaching, they do not prepare you.

@MoniseLSeward Between GA last night and today, I have just decided to stay up until my eyes just collapse.

I wrote this thread in June for teaching into, as opposed to around, trauma & crisis.

It might be helpful for tomorrow's classes as the shreds of democracy play out and kids will have witness an attempted coup.

This thread has been edited, it was written in a different time.

Don’t, “I have a dream” your students later this month if you’re not willing to discuss the nightmares many of them are living through today.

@MrsReesReads Giving up dry January may be how I cope.

I’m in the Capitol. I’m safe, and my team and I are sheltering in place.

The President of the United States has incited a riot that has now stormed the Capitol. There are rioters roaming the halls of the Capitol. I saw them with my own eyes.

Our country deserves better.

[Emily Lamont @em_lamont]

This thread is my inner thoughts right now.

[Nick Tilsen @NickTilsen]

They call in the National Guard and forcefully remove indigenous people when we stand on our own lands in our own power, but they won’t call in the national guard on the white supremacist who just stormed the capital.

@MoniseLSeward As I grew into my role as an educator, I realized how much I ❤️data. I’m a data nerd. Give me a set of data to analyze and I’m in heaven. No one taught me that math could combine with my love of people. Everybody just let me know I was terrible at math.

[Emily Lamont @em_lamont]

Some days I get to “sub”. I get relive the energy of having a classroom. It’s like being an aunt. You love them up and give them back. 🤣 You also “treat” them to writing outdoors #pandemicteaching #changeinplans #readingteacher

@MisterMinor See, I feel that way about Christmas flavors. 🤮 I take my spiced love into Christmas through mulled wine. 🤣

I am several celebratory mimosas in and made myself the Four Seasons Total Landscaping shirt I desperately wanted in my life. If you want it too, I'm tossing all profits to the Georgia runoffs. https://t.co/hK7mvcLr1I

A Black and Indian American woman named Kamala will be our Vice President. We are the first generation of Americans who will be able to respectfully say Madam Vice President.

Now let’s be the first generation of Americans to root out sexism and racism.
