2 days of teaching done after an incredibly inspiring 4 days at NCTE. Now you know what time it is.

The Mythics by Lauren Magaziner was an instant favorite for my class from the moment we read it and we have been enjoying the second and third in the series. I can’t wait until tomorrow when I get to tell my class, not only did I meet the author, but she gifted us the not yet released fourth book!

I am always on the mission to diversify my classroom library to ensure all kids feel seen and that our diverse world is represented. My haul from #ncte24 will certainly help with that mission. Check out these beautiful new titles! Any that you love or are dying to check out?

Here’s where I’ll be this weekend! I can’t wait to connect with educators and creators. Let me know if you will be at #NCTE.

ONE WORD can ignite a spark. Of worthlessness. Of hate. That grows. Spreads. Catches fire. But… ONE WORD can send a wave of courage. Of kindness. Of acceptance. That douses the flames. Heals the hurt. Clears a path for friendship. Belonging. #agented #SEL #skypitch #lyrical

It’s time to play THE QUIET GAME! Who will be the grand quieteer, champion of silence? Will it be you? Or perhaps Skunk, Pelican, or our overconfident narrator, Aye-Aye? There’s only one way to find out. Ready, set, shhhhhh!!! #agented #humor #interactive #skypitch

An ailing father and his son hike at dusk in hopes of glimpsing constellations. When disappointment is found dad knows just what to say. THE STARS YOU DON’T SEE and the memory of that night provide comfort for the boy when the time comes to home alone. #agented #skypitch #lyrical #grief

HOPE AND THE SEA is such a heartwarming story about friendship and has an adorable ending that will give you all the feels📚👍 @andrewchacket.bsky.social
