When AJ Brown started reading, I started yelling at hubby, "Take his picture!!!" Thanks to AJ for showing kids that players are readers and readers are leaders. And thanks to ⁦@Eagles⁩ for letting your players read when and where they choose. This Texan says, "Go Eagles!"

Hey teachers - dont miss this if you are at #NCTE24

[Matt Glover @Mattglover123]

Going to #NCTE24 next week? On Friday at 12:30pm, Carl Anderson @ConferringCarl and I are doing a signing for our book How to Become a Better Writing Teacher at the@HeinemannPub booth. Come by to say "Hi" and talk about teaching writing!

[Kylene Beers @KyleneBeers]

I think it is critical that you ask for clarification. I have been in the loop since conference organizers were made aware of what the parent company espouses - not the company that is exhibiting. I am sure a lot of explanations will be forthcoming but it is not my place to do so.

But any petition that says we should always work against those that espouse hate is a great petition.

Seriously #United. On flight 2477 from Houston to Boston. That plane had to return to Houston once in air because of instrument failure. Now on a new plane and pilot just told us that this new plane has an electrical failure so no idea when boarding will happen.

What is your problem with maintaining planes?

We lost our sweet Coda yesterday, Aug 6, to cancer. As I sat on the vet's floor, holding her, she looked up and licked away my tears, loving me even in her last moments. These dogs, they show us all what love truly is. We should learn.

[Kylene Beers @KyleneBeers]

Teachers - join me for a 2-day introductory webinar on the Notice and Note Signposts.

This is for teachers just starting to use the signposts. All grades.

[Kylene Beers @KyleneBeers]

Thanks to @JenMerrifield for catching my big mistake when I wrote June 23 and 24 when I meant July 23 and 24. This is new signpost called the "Oh Sh#t" signpost. Not much instruction needed for it!
