Ss used @Jarrett_Lerner ‘s Finish This Comic to describe the importance of the Treaty of Paris. Kids never fail to amaze me. #NoviPride

Hustling to label + get our new books in kids’ hands before winter break! A HUGE shoutout to @NoviEdFound for giving Ss a voice in our classroom library. I can’t keep them on the shelf! #choicematters #NoviTogether

When one of my GOP colleagues suggested that in response to the Oxford school shooting we can only, in effect, throw our hands in the air and accept that there are people out there with murderous hearts, I felt compelled to tell him why I think he is wrong.

Making some difficult decisions about books to add to our classroom library. #choicematters when picking books and Ss excitement over selecting books they would read was proof! TY to the @NoviEdFound for making this possible. #NoviPride

We began to establish our reading community this week. One of my favorite things is finding out what’s sweet + what stinks about reading. ❤️ these responses. TY @pernilleripp for the idea. #NoviPride

Read to your students from the moment they come to you until the moment they leave - paraphrasing Richard Allington. One of many graphics I’ll be printing for the new school year.
Do you read aloud to your kids? To your students? Here are just SOME of the benefits to doing so. 💛📚💛

2/ Ensuring equitable book access is the best way to keep kids reading all summer: library cards, books at home, long term loans from school. You cannot motivate kids to read much if they don't have anything engaging and accessible to read!
