Just got out of the movie theater where I watched #SoundofFreedom by @AngelStudiosInc starring #JimCaviezel based on the true story of #TimBallard .

It is a movie that is speaking about one of the most important topics in the world today.. child slavery, #HumanTrafficking

I was grateful to watch it in a theater full of other human beings. The theater was packed. It was a beautiful thing to see the support.

Tears definitely flowed throughout the film, with a heavy enlightening of what is happening in the world today but also with hope that this topic is finally gaining more traction and touching the hearts of people who can help make a difference. Maybe we all can just by becoming more aware. Support this movie. Go see it. 🙏

@sHood125 @SimonKIDS @HarperStacks @grgdawson I think Alias Anna is #NF and Lifeboat 12 is #HF. I have not read either, but put both on my summer reading list. Thanks!

Learning about how teaching syllabication helps with reading and spelling. Can’t wait to try it in my 3rd grade classroom!
