@ALibraryscience Easy to justify the expense if you are able to get kids reading. If you are also getting kids visually literate: value added. And manga/GN have been shown to raise levels of both literacy and visual literacy. AND they are popular. So there’s not much to justify, is there?

@sksgrigsby @ALibraryscience Preach sister!

@NIS_Head @NIS_Secondary I love this!

Take what you need. Give what you can. Our well-being wall in @NIS_Secondary is just what we need!! Thank you to our new associate principal Ms. N. for helping us find space to care. #NISinclude #NIScares

@CFletcherHT Thanks @CFletcherHT! I did a version of the Eight Queens Puzzle from this set with my Dad back in the day. I think some of these might be useful for the lower grades too, for students who want to stretch themselves and need practice with word problems in English.

@sksgrigsby Happy birthday! I didn’t realize you got into international education relatively recently. You seem like an awesome world traveler to me. 🌍

Students started arriving at 8:10 this morning and one by one they picked up a book and started reading quietly. My heart! ❤️ 📚 ❤️ #reading #readinggivesyousuperpowers

First day back at work today and freshly vaccinated! Time to see our new library!!

[Matthew Parr @NIS_Head]

A great team. Aichi medical university hospital staff, NIS volunteers, volunteers from our TISA partner schools and @ACCJChubu, our friends from Cerespo. 1000 vaccinations from this amazing team! #NISoutreach

[Sue Conolly @kozoji4161]

@NIS_Head @ACCJChubu It was a fantastic experience for our entire family. ❤️

[Matthew Parr @NIS_Head]

All NIS teachers are teachers of language. Getting ready to support the multiple language profiles of students with a ‘can do’ approach that builds a value-added diverse language community and a strong sense of identity in our learners #NISinclude

@enkibalama @Andrew_Levidis Every part of every person *counts*. My original objection is that someone would be considered a *poor choice* despite their obvious achievements and their stated allegiances because of where they grew up or the color of their skin.

If you’d like to hear white guy @WillSwanton mansplain why tennis star Naomi Osaka isn’t Japanese enough to be a good choice to represent the Olympics in the spirit of internationalism and good will, feel free to subscribe to The Australian and read his trash. No way I am.

[Sue Conolly @kozoji4161]

@waltonkate He is fully dickhead.

[Sue Conolly @kozoji4161]

@Andrew_Levidis How Australian is Will Swanton, to be questioning the ethnicity of a multicultural young lady who has had more success bridging cultures than he ever will in his sad life? I always roll my eyes when a super entitled white male sports journalist says stuff like this.

[Sue Conolly @kozoji4161]

Blissey seems to like my new library.

[Matthew Parr @NIS_Head]

Job done! 1000 community members now vaccinated! A massive community effort. Fantastic volunteering spirit from our friends across Nagoya. Well done everyone! We did it! #NISoutreach @ACCJChubu

[Sue Conolly @kozoji4161]

@NIS_Head @ACCJChubu I’m so happy to have had to a chance to be involved in this in a small way, and of course it feels GREAT to be finally vaccinated!
