Happy publication day to NO MORE CHAIRS - a story about a teacher who made a lifelong practice of inclusion after a childhood encounter with racism. Susan Gal partnered with @littlebrownyr.bsky.social and author Dan Gill to illustrate this true story.

I like going to bookstores because I love seeing kids freaking out over books they really want. It reminds my cynical brain that their world isn't just iPad and Roblox 24/7 like the internet would have me believe #KidsLit #Books

I wish I had watched more Reading Rainbow as a kid but I was way too hooked on Star Trek TNG and wasn't used to seeing LeVar Burton have eyes #KidsLit #StarTrekTNG

A goofy dragon born sorcerer I played for some good old DND a while ago.
Painting of a turtle like Dragonborn character wearing a Harlequin-like robe in the colors of blue purple orange and red. He has a tall pointy hat and glasses. He is very silly. His name is Rünford Freezeetail.

The fact that we so willingly abandoned phonics is absolutely wild to me. Was doing some research on the Three Cueing method and immediately thought "This sounds a lot like how I'd try to figure out a word if I couldn't read" #KidsLit #Phonics

I used to use this strategy, the PROP method, to teach critical thinking skills in American history twenty years ago. It's as helpful and relevant as ever. How do you know something is true? How do you evaluate what you are hearing or reading? The kids always loved "reason to lie." Be skeptical!
The PROP method for analyzing sources P -- Primary or secondary? Was this person an eyewitness to the event they are describing, or did they just hear about from someone else? R -- Reason to lie? Who is the author? Does this person have a reason to hide the truth or distort the facts? O -- Other evidence? Are there any other sources that can confirm what this person is saying? P -- Public or private? Was this source meant to be read by the public, or was it a private communication? People are more likely to be honest in their private diaries than they are in a public speech.

I'm sorry, were you hoping to learn spells? Nope, that's your kid. YOU get to be on the PTA with a bunch of mages, cryptics, and other folks who can set your hair on fire with a thought. And you thought the school drop-off line was stressful...💙 📚

Had a dream last night that Adult Swim made a Johnny The Homicidal Maniac animated special that was just their regular programing but in the middle of American Dad or Family Guy Johnny would suddenly appear out of nowhere and violently obliterate all the characters #jthm
