Share some great questions for your favorite read aloud! Here’s one for Wolves: The author included an alternative ending with the wolf a vegetarian sharing a jam sandwich with the rabbit. What does this imply about the morality of eating meat? #hiawathapride #hiawathareadalouds

@mwalski Great ideas! Keep digging.

How do we help well-intentioned leaders frame authentic literacy tchng & lrning, not narrow definitions of literacy? https://t.co/td4Rucsr1x

[Suz @LitProfSuz]

Ouch. Principal role in framing the use of assessment & reading levels to "help" children. #nctear16

[WHY MY CAT IS SAD @MYSADCAT]

My cat is sad because he wears black on the outside because black is how he feels on the inside.
