A photo taken on the steps showing over a 100 people gathered around Jeffries and Booker who are sat broadcasting on the steps of the Capitol. The sky is bright blue.

Is this building into something?

In their cowering to racist power, U.S. companies and institutions are trying to silence antiracist voices. They are going to learn (history) today. Whenever this happened in the past, antiracist voices became louder. Became more enraged and engaged. Became more resolute. This is happening now.

This is the way.

I love your beta fish Kevin.

If she can do it, we can all do it.

Booo Carrie Underwood!

Yes Rachel. Each of my 30 years as a public school teacher I saw our plates grow larger and fuller. Right now it’s an over flowing trough. Something has to give. How will new teachers sustain this? Will there be teachers with 25+ years of experience down the road?

I would count them on the diagonal —3-4-4-3

Happy Friday to all from Rev! #petsofbluesky #HolidayPets

Velshi Banned Book Club: ‘That Librarian’ stands up to censorship Librarians' careful curation of books are crucial to children’s development, ability to evaluate credible sources, and capacity to cultivate empathy and understanding. In ‘That Librarian,’ Jones argues that book bans not only threaten our freedom to read, but also puts librarians’ lives and livelihoods at risk. “I want my students, and I want everyone in my community to learn to be critical thinkers,” Jones says; and without libraries, this can be difficult to achieve. Moving forward, Jones urges people to take a close look at what’s happening to libraries within their own communities and schools.

“Books have the ability to change lives and save lives,” says @librarianjones.com. Facing backlash for speaking out against book bans inspired her book ‘That Librarian.’

I love watching the incredible number sense and flexibility with numbers that grew in K and 1 using IM K-5.

A voice is a human gift; it should be cherished and used, to utter fully human speech as possible. Powerlessness and silence go together.

Just crazy!

Unsustainable!

Absolutely. I like that it’s open to including what the teacher knows about their students and their experiences.
