I've been teaching Grade 8 LA for a million years. And I still love it. If I'm not teaching, I'm chauferring, reading, seeking truth, or dreaming of Lin Manuel.

@tjklune Ah. I’ve been teaching 8th-graders for many (many) wonderful years. I just finished the story of Arthur and Linus. My god - did I need to read that just now. And every year moving forward. My weary soul is refreshed. One thousand thanks.

@cox2233 @johnpavlovitz So sorry. She’s a beauty.

I’m watching this every day for the rest of my life.

@jcolburnlevy I thought our cat died today when I heard my daughter squealing that her fav Jane liked her tweet. (If you could do that again on 12/25, pretty sure my holiday shopping would be finished.) @kaylajoynerr

Try to do something this week to help someone else in a way that has nothing to do with politics. It will make you feel better. And it will be a small but measurable step in helping heal our world.

[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

Joe Biden spent the final moments of the debate urging Americans to vote. Donald Trump spent the final moments of the debate trying to suppress and discount those votes.

Vote like our democracy depends on it—because it does.

@TeamTrump @realDonaldTrump Stop being such a bully @realDonaldTrump I’ve taught in a middle school for 27 years. I’m familiar with your rhetoric.

Am I going to choose what I read next based solely on what will help me get bingo on this QuaranTBR card?? Yes

With so many children now at home for school, please let them read what they want--whether that's comics, graphic novels, picture books, books "below their reading level," or the same book they've read 100 times. Let them read what they want. They need it right now (and always).

[Kristine Joyner @kljteaches]
