We couldn’t go to the pumpkin patch this year, so we brought the pumpkins to Waukazoo!

Some interesting insights about what each generation is reading! https://t.co/i6iGB9bdsD

[Angela McKellar @mckellarWO]

@k_klassen11 Yup! I’m moving south!

[Angela McKellar @mckellarWO]

Huge shout out for amazing APs who not only decluttered my new classroom today, but also wiped down the cupboards making my move much easier! Thank you for your servant's hearts @RosalesWoods @AudraBolhuis @JakeManning12 @coachosh

Just finished this wonderful #memoir by @IamGMJohnson 💗 I appreciate the vulnerability and honesty that is conveyed in this book about growing up Black and queer. #WOreads

We believe in the power of story. #JustMercy is one resource we can offer to those who are interested in learning more about the systemic racism that plagues our society. For the month of June, #JustMercy will be available to rent for free on digital platforms in the US. @eji_org

Princess Ariel left the sea for a few hours to get treats tonight. She assured me that she loves Kit-Kats and Snapchat filters more than dinglehoppers and snarfblatts 😂👻🍬 #HappyHalloween2019

Reading on a boat 🛥 with a beautiful view just takes reading to a whole new level 💗
📖 With the Fire on High by @AcevedoWrites (check it out! It’s so good!)

[Angela McKellar @mckellarWO]

We are in denial that summer is over tomorrow. Maybe if we close our eyes really tight it won’t see us!
A perfect day of boating before starting year 3!

Books can solve all your problems, look here:
Sad = get a new book
Happy = celebrate with a book!
Humanity is annoying? = people are better in books
Need to research necromancy? = bOOKS
Fleeing a crime scene? = hide behind book as a disguise! not that you need this tip I'm sure!!

Feedback on #EDR628 Curriculum Projects is so beneficial!

[Angela McKellar @mckellarWO]

Students need to know how to work in groups and independently. We should work to build collaboration skills, but also the ability to work and think in silence independently. #EDR628

[Angela McKellar @mckellarWO]

I love the idea of structuring units around meaning-making, transfer of skills and acquisition of knowledge. It brings the application of learning back into the classroom. #EDR628 #UbD

[Angela McKellar @mckellarWO]

Just talked about our students needing to be positively represented in the books they read in our #EDR628 meeting tonight!

[We Need Diverse Books @diversebooks]

When people wonder why certain children and young adults don't like to read, do they ever wonder if it's because of the way characters who look like them are portrayed or essentially non-existent in the texts that are available? https://t.co/yEQBifkZqk

[Angela McKellar @mckellarWO]

Critical literacy aims at analyzing, critiquing and challenging the norms. It's an understanding of how texts can be manipulated to represent the world or people a certain way. Teaching students critical literacy helps them decipher truth from falsehoods #EDR628
