@spencerwrites @bloomsburykids THIS COULD ALL GO BAD might be the best #MGLit book I have ever read. Better than @theldring THE FOOTBALL GIRL. Better than @JSonnenblick. Just... gobsmacked. Made me cry. Kids will love it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“When our genes could not store all the information necessary for survival, we slowly invented brains. But then the time came, perhaps ten thousand years ago, when we needed to know more than could conveniently be contained in brains. So we learned to stockpile enormous quantities of information outside our bodies. We are the only species on the planet, so far as we know, to have invented a communal memory stored neither in our genes nor in our brains. The warehouse of that memory is called the library. A book is made from a tree. It is an assemblage of flat, flexible parts (still called ‘leaves’) imprinted with dark pigmented squiggles. One glance at it and you hear the voice of another person - perhaps someone dead for thousands of years. Across the millennia, the author is speaking, clearly and silently, inside your head, directly to you. Writing is perhaps the greatest of human inventions, binding together people, citizens of distant epochs, who never knew one another. Books break the shackles of time, proof that humans can work magic.” — Carl Sagan

This week is Teacher Appreciation Week and at MagicSchool, we celebrate it a little differently. MagicSchool is comprised of many former educators. Our founder was a principal. Members of our team spent years in classrooms, spending their own money, stretching every resource, and showing up anyway. We understand the sacrifice. The late nights, the out-of-pocket expenses, the emotional weight of a job that asks everything of you. So this week, we're giving back in real ways. We're starting with funding classrooms through DonorsChoose every single day this week. Educators: Fill out this form with your DonorsChoose project link. 💜 forms.magicschool.ai/t/cgUyg… #TeacherAppreciationWeek #TeachersAreMagic
