Ramadan starts today…here are a few of my favorite elementary aged books that celebrate, or center around, Ramadan and Eid by #ownvoices authors. What favorites of yours should I add to my list? #bcpslms @StoneleighES @BCPSLMP

This is one of the most surprising and meaningful assignments I’ve ever given. Morale was running at an all-time low. I had my HS students write a certificate of achievement to themselves - For whatever they wanted. The results? #education #teachertwitter

This. I tell colleagues and parents this *all*the*time*. There are SO MANY amazing picture books that are current and accurately reflect the language and life our kiddos are actually living. And don’t get me started on the phenomenol artwork in this books 😍😍
We are in a golden age of picture books and no one knows it because everyone buys the books that were read to them as kids and the only new picture books getting media attention are celebrity books and so everyone buys the books read to them as kids.

Imagine if school librarians could work together to create a new cataloging system that worked for education and completely tossed Dewey in the garbage? And it was work that was supported and funded?

A recent CBS News/YouGov poll showed Americans do not support removing books about race from schools and believe that students should be taught the history of race and racism in the US. ow.ly/LiHz50I3GGY

I’ll never cease to be amazed at the strength and resiliency and advocacy shown by these families…hard to believe this was 13 years ago now (for the briefest of context- this tragic crash was in my hometown, while most people outside it still don’t know it ever happened)
Thirteen years ago today, 49 people lost their lives in a plane crash near Buffalo. Their loved ones prodded Congress to pass the Aviation Safety Act — and there hasn’t been a major commercial airline crash in the U.S. ever since.
