Hey, Teacher! I see you. I know you’re working your buns off to meet the needs of all of your students. Thanks for that. You are making a difference. I made you a little video where I share a couple handful of things that I love about what you’re doing.
Laurie Halse Anderson’s Speak is a must read young adult novel. I didn’t read it when it came out 20 years ago. I am thankful that this new edition brought it to the top of my to-read pile.
I gave my students $1,800 to spend on books for our school library. it was an amazing experience.

Readers are going to love Dear Sister. It is such a fun, touching, and innovative middle grade novel.
