Currently listening (reading) to the voices of @JasonReynolds83 and @DrIbram in order to learn. I recommend this to EVERYONE.

This morning on the Today Show with ⁦@HodaAndJenna⁩ How to speak to kids about race relations in America https://t.co/FkHXwMiYf2

[Ya on the Shelf @yaontheshelf]

Thankful for #AllAmericanBoys and this conversation surrounding the current racism that perpetuates our world. We need to help do the work. #BlackLivesMatter

Thank you @mrsmelanieroy for sharing. I signed up.

[Ya on the Shelf @yaontheshelf]

Feeling really overwhelmed about how best to help amplify the voices of our Black communities. All I feel like I can say is, if you are looking for a way to engage your kiddos, try this book as a launching point. #JusticeForGeorgeFlyod

⁦@KateMessner⁩ your book is on the blog today! 🎉🎉🥳 #middlegrade #books are the jam https://t.co/s2G2YRVu7Q

[Ya on the Shelf @yaontheshelf]

Many of my students recommended I watch @TheCW All American on Netflix. Realizing it has many connections to Long Way Down by @JasonReynolds83 with its comments about cyclical violence and gang communities. #eyeopening

[Ya on the Shelf @yaontheshelf]

Asked my @bps_ri kiddos to respond visually to poem 13 from @JasonReynolds83 blog. Continuously blown away by their responses, particularly the Rashad connection made by one gal below #distancelearning #poetry #middleschool

[Ya on the Shelf @yaontheshelf]

Currently reading @Dusti_Bowling novel — gives me some giggles and perspective. #yalit #middleschool
