My class can’t get enough graphic novels!
Happy Friday! I'm giving away four copies of Saving Sunshine, the graphic novel that Booklist called "heartwarming, funny and bright". Follow me, RT and like for a chance to win. USA only. Ends Sunday night.

Teacher & kid lit author types: I’m looking for videos or short pieces about feeling seen in the books you read. I thought @kellyyanghk had one, but I can’t find it. Any leads would be appreciated for lessons I’m teaching next week. #kidlit #middlegrade

Just finished my 8th day of school. I'm tired, but I'm loving teaching fifth grade. It's like the sweet spot that has the best of seventh and third grades mixed into one.

I start my 30th year of teaching on Monday in a new grade. To say I’m nervous is an understatement. I am also incredibly excited. I’ve spent my summer reading some AMAZING middle grade books (so fun!), and my room is ready to go. #teacherlife #elementaryschool @D28Northbrook

If we want children to read more we should allow them unfettered access to books that they actually want to read.
Library story: Mom at my desk when her daughter comes up and hands her a book. D: Can I read this? M: No, the AR level is 6th grade & up. Maybe in a year or two. I contort my neck to see it's Black Beauty. Me: I love that one! How old are you? D: 10. Me: I was 10 when--

I have never shared a wishlist, but changing grade levels from 3rd to 5th means that most of my books and a bit of my flexible seating no longer meets student needs. Any help is appreciated. #clearthelist #iteachfifth #publicschoolteacher

Parents absolutely get to decide what books their kids read or don’t, but their jurisdiction doesn’t extend to other people’s children. Our family (and many others) wants our kids/grandkids to read accurate history and the rich stories of ALL of humanity. Leave our kids alone.

Today’s #bookaday read was Invisible by @ChristinaDG and @pichikui. Loved this graphic novel and can’t wait to share it with kids in the fall.
