Ramadan starts today…here are a few of my favorite elementary aged books that celebrate, or center around, Ramadan and Eid by #ownvoices authors. What favorites of yours should I add to my list? #bcpslms @StoneleighES @BCPSLMP

This is one of the most surprising and meaningful assignments I’ve ever given. Morale was running at an all-time low. I had my HS students write a certificate of achievement to themselves - For whatever they wanted. The results? #education #teachertwitter
This. I tell colleagues and parents this *all*the*time*. There are SO MANY amazing picture books that are current and accurately reflect the language and life our kiddos are actually living. And don’t get me started on the phenomenol artwork in this books 😍😍

Imagine if school librarians could work together to create a new cataloging system that worked for education and completely tossed Dewey in the garbage? And it was work that was supported and funded?
