Second graders made posters to welcome @nellcrossbeckerman.bsky.social to Snohomish, Washington for an author visit soon. We are super excited!

@nellcrossbeckerman.bsky.social Nell's author visit inspired our second grade writers! This student said, "Look, I'm writing like Nell." Nell shared a piece she revised, with cross outs. And he was super excited to write like Nell! Thanks, Nell for inspiring writers.

Calling all educators! 📚❤️ I'm giving away a class set of 25 copies of @mrschureads.bsky.social's new book, RUTHIE ROSE’S BIG IDEA, illustrated by @hollyhatam.bsky.social. Re-post this post and follow John and Holly for a chance to win! I'll pick and tag a random winner on Monday, 3/10. US only.

#NCTE24 authors...the joy you brought to my classroom of 2nd graders was infectious! We spent the morning partner reading the suitcase full of books I brought home. Lots of book talks too. They each picked a special book to take home. The day after #NCTE is the best!

Thank you #NCTE24, authors, and publishers. Books, books, snd more books. Can't wait to share these with my 2nd graders and colleagues. There is nothing like book joy!

#NCTE24 four days of learning in honoring, loving spaces. My head and heart are full. Thank you.

@nellcrossbeckerman.bsky.social @rsonenshine.bsky.social @cedarpruitt.bsky.social Thank you authors! Such great ideas and energy.

First session at #NCTE24. Phenomenal. Just phenomenal. Thank you.
