Happy birthday week #MargaretWiseBrown! Born May 23, 1910 Brown was an iconic queer author of picture books like The Important Book (1949) & Goodnight Moon (1947). She was featured in our 2005 exhibit The Picture Book Made New: Margaret Wise Brown & her Illustrators.

Hi all, it’s @nswiltse. I haven’t tweeted much this school year from this account for a number of reasons, but now I want to show you what @CoonleyES students will miss with no librarian next year as I’m losing my job. Here are pics from this year: 🧵

Does this photo outweigh all the others? Some think so. It’s why I’m losing my job. But I’m proud of the work of our @CTULocal1 — which includes all @CoonleyES teachers. We fight for what’s right. @SSKedreporter @bylaurenfitz @ILRaiseYourHand @NaderDIssa / end of 🧵/

Today @2ndCougars read I AM EVERY GOOD THING by @Author_DDB and @GordonCJamesArt. They made a classroom book of statements and it was so powerful! These students know their worth. 🥰#coonleyreads #coonleywrites #thisishersecondlanguage #tryingnottocry @CoonleyES @CarpenterCougar
