Yesterday most of the @RAMSHollistonPS sixth graders visited the library for the first time (what a year it has been!) and collectively borrowed over 150 books for the summer. Loved to meet them and feed off their excitement!

Make sure school schedules have enough time for daily independent reading of self-selected books.
40-45 minute classes need to adjust to more time. Don’t use a 19th-20th century schedule in 21st century!
Today there was a class in the library. Some students also came in to check out books. I met with a student to help her start her own library website. Lots of kids had lunch in the library. Today felt almost normal. I never knew I loved normal so much. 💖
We had Ss in the library for the FIRST TIME ALL YEAR today for in person checkouts. A student I have never met before came in and we talked about BOOKS as she marveled at the collection! As she was leaving she said, "I like you...and I LOVE this library." Y'all...best day EVER!
Things my 6 year old has memorized:
Address ✔️
Phone number ✔️
Email/PW combo ✔️
Class Zoom link ✔️✔️✔️

As a kid, I escaped to Narnia via his books. Now I live/write in the city where he was born, and I'm so honoured to receive the 1st C.S. Lewis Writer's Bursary, celebrating his legacy! A big (belated) thank you to @EastSideArtsBel @ArtsCouncilNI for supporting my current project!

Can we stop saying children are resilient? It’s not resilience, we’re just forcing them to deal with difficult things and they deal with it because they have no power and no choice in the matter.
As a parent there's nothing better than when a teacher really "gets" your kid. This year is a whole lot of things I can't say out loud, but teachers are the real bright spots for so many children, including my own, and for that I'm so very thankful.
Hey @TheAtlantic can you please DM me with a phone number where I can actually be connected to a live person in customer service? I've been trying to get help with a subscription request since 10/22. Thank you!
My shy, quiet, would not get out of the car the first week of school, 6YO today: Mom! Today I saw H****** at school. I said, 'Hey, should we be friends?' and she said YES and now we are friends!' Anddddd that is how it's done. In person "learning" matters. #choosekind
