My feet forget every year just how exhausting all day, back to back media orientations can be!!!

First books, now art...what's next? 🤦‍♀️🙄

[MomsForSocialJustice @momsforsj]

Sadly, we called this a long time ago. We knew that Books were only the beginning. These puritanical extremists do not value or understand art in any form. And the absurdity is lost on them. 😑

One parent reportedly called the masterpiece "pornographic." https://t.co/njp85ryBQR

[Laura Dixon, Ed.S @twesmediacenter]

Thankful for students like this and the parents that have raised them to value all books and what they have to offer.

Tomorrow is my little girl's 5th birthday and she LOVES books! She gets to go to the Bookfair this Friday if you'd like to send her a birthday present! #readersrock #readersareleaders

Kids need the opportunity to just read for fun!!! Low stress, low stakes reading is like sneaky vegetables into their meals — they’re getting all of the benefits of comprehension and vocabulary work but they’re enjoying it and choosing to read. Everyone’s a winner! #txlege #txasl
