All hands on deck, folks. This will effectively eliminate all books by queer authors and about queer lives, even books with secondary characters, books where the author or a character uses they/them pronouns. This bill will erase identities and harm kids. And it won't stop at public schools.

WATCH: Trump, EPA's Zeldin announce end of scientific basis for U.S. action on climate change The Trump administration on Thursday revoked a scientific finding that long has been the central basis for U.S. action to regulate greenhouse gas emissions and fight climate change, the most aggressiv...

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate changeβ€”all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

Using Multigenre Picture Books in Middle School Books that convey nonfiction topics through poems and images help students learn to process information, a skill they can transfer to other texts.

Picture books aren’t just for young readers. Teachers can introduce them as a jumping off point to help middle school students sharpen their literacy skills! πŸ“–

If you read one book by a black author for #blackhistorymonth, let it be β€œHow to Be an Antiracist” by @ibramxk.bsky.social

THEY DID IT. EVERY SENATE DEMOCRAT just voted on an amendment to DEFUND ICE (rescind the BBB slush fund that keeps ICE open during a shutdown.) This amendment failed, but it shows broad support! KEEP CALLING and make it a demand to vote for the DHS funding bill!!

Lessons in Genreβ€”and inΒ Failure We have been studying genres in 3rd grade. Something so simple, and yet such a powerful key to unlocking yourself as a reader. For some students, these classifications are crystal clear; they already have the language that wraps around them as readers. For others, the designations are murky at bestβ€”confusion between fiction and nonfiction (which I completely understand in this day and age), and even what it means for something to…

We turned our tiny classroom library into a space students could navigateβ€”sorting books by genre, wrestling with fiction vs. nonfiction, and learning through messiness. A lesson in reading, teaching, and yes… failure. But worth every minute.
