Long-awaited yet very necessary! Thank you so much @SteveSheinkin for your gift to the universe that helped my students and me learn about this little known, yet incredibly significant event in US and World History!
The worst part of being a teacher is seeing my kind, good-hearted students grow up and grow into bigots.
Are you ready for Relit, a compilation of Latinx remixes of classic stories by @SandraProudman?! I'm looking forward to reading every single one, but I really can't wait for Trespassers Will Be...by @TorreyMaldonado! I know it's going to be a-MAZE-ing!

@ImaginationSoup THX for sparking this chat. Wow, being called a master at this by @soontornvat @LaudLibraries @MrsCHeidrich alongside @LindaSuePark is more energizing than my a.m coffee. THX to all who name me. Also, hearing “master” brings this The Last Dragon scene to mind 😂
The George M Johnson house for people with severe physical disabilities is now open. Thank you @TruEvolutionInc for this honor as we all combat homelessness 🙏🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾.

Free people read freely. This school librarian stands for your right to read, because books save lives. Seeing stories, yours and others, in print helps us realize we’re not alone, that our lives matter. To those trying to take books away from students, shame on you.
Hands is real/relatable/relevant! I🧡that it explores tough topics w/fidelity & respect. It's hard for me to decide the best use of MY hands! Less than 150 pgs w/a rhythm that floats like a butterfly...get a hold @TorreyMaldonado's Hands & weigh in for yourself! #MGBookChat
Stop voting for extremist Republicans who offer thoughts and prayers. Stop voting for extremist Republicans who fetishize the Second Amendment. Stop voting for extremist Republicans who pledge fealty to the NRA, a domestic terrorist group. Civilians do not need weapons of war.
