I can't wait for the term to be over so I can immerse myself in the latest book from #gileskristian . I absolutely loved #Camelot & and #Lancelot, so I have high hopes for this one!

Teachers say “They can’t do that. They’ll find that hard”. We need to constantly say, “I don’t care, you’re going to do really well”. Don’t limit the challenge.
@shadylady222 sharing her fave quote from @FunkyPedagogy - always make aspiration possible.

I was nervous starting this - I ❤️ #thepassage & all of #justincronin 's other books - what if this didn't measure up? Started yesterday, finished this morning. I couldn't put it down. In my humble opinion: brilliant! #Shakespeare #thepassage #theferryman #thesummerguest
