Saw huge Easter displays at several schools this week. No offense meant for my Christian friends, but WTH? We're right in the middle of Ramadan, but there wasn't a single mention of it anywhere. If you want to celebrate religion in schools, then please do so equally!!

Is Kindness part of your Elementary Curriculum? Are you a teacher or a librarian? I’ve got 8 free copies of my graphic novel “Your Pal Fred” to give away. Winners will be randomly picked on Thursday at noon. #bookgiveaway #teacher #librarian

I’ve always wanted to create a project researching the lives and impacts of Nobel Peace Prize winners. Just learning now about the “Father of the Green Revolution.” These people are who our kids should be learning about! #collabookation

Finally something creative

Childhood trauma doesn’t just come from what you experience, it’s also about what you don’t experience. Here’s some examples:

“I want to be a good person...and give myself compassion when I come up short. I want to give other people compassion when they come up short, too.” @LaurieLMorrison this is such a beautiful sentiment in such a wonderful book. ❤️❤️ #collabookation

Be sure to subscribe to the Black Creators Series Playlist on the Candlewick Press YouTube channel and tune in for season 3 on October 11th. Stay tuned for more special announcements from Candlewick Press! @CandlewickClass @SonjaCherryPaul

This morning I got to see the interior layout for my illustrated novel in verse, A Work in Progress. I got goosebumps—then got teary-eyed. I’m beyond excited (and also a bit nervous) to share more of the book with you all. It’s out May 2023, with a full cover reveal coming soon!

So excited to start this book with our reading groups in fourth grade! Black history, Science, and social emotional learning all in one! #collabookation

Last night, playing ‘Hoops at Dusk,’ Evalee saw a bat fly by & exclaimed, ‘Look Geej! The first bat of the season, it’s almost Halloween!’ I knew it was time to begin the final book of the Zombert trilogy ~ zombie cats (and kids) fighting corporate overlords! #collabookation

Calling Schools, parks, groups! Who is interested in getting a buddy bench for your school/community? If yes comment below city/state. Doing some research🤞 #teachertwitter #school #parks #parents please RT. Hoping for lots of responses

If we cancel all student debt, ppl will want medical debt forgiven. If we cancel medical debt, they're going to want free healthcare. If we give them that, they'll want us to house the homeless. Then everyone's going to want a living wage. The whole society will fall apart.

My mother used to do our back to school shopping in May, so she could have all summer to pay it off on layaway. Teachers aren’t the only one trying to “clear the list” be compassionate as kids come back to school without the necessities. #teachertwitter #clearthelist2022

Some news from #KidsNeedMentors

I was put in the gifted and talented program and read The Lottery in FOURTH grade. Ms Morris rly wanted us to be ready

Has anyone read/loved a book that focuses on moving students from compliance to engagement? Looking for recommendations for a faculty book study.

As a Librarian, I am begging you: if you love Libraries, care about Democracy, support the freedom to read, hate fascists, please get vocal/active in your support of Libraries, & Librarians because we, which means our Patrons too, have become a target for violence from extremists
