It’s that time of year again.

Teachers, THANK YOU for what you do. If you need help stocking your room this year, please drop a link to your Classroom Wishlists in the comments!

I’ll get as much as I can, and there are always some great members of the community who chip in too!
Thanks! Can’t wait to show it to the world!

All aboard! It’s #KidLitArtPostcard Day, and these good boys and girls are off to school! When I was a kid, dogs would sometimes crash recess, causing chaos. Maybe today’s lesson is ‘How to Cause the Best Kind of Mayhem’! What’s on their school schedule? 🐕✨

Every day on the internet makes it abundantly clear that some people have never had a single person turn around and say to them, ‘Cite your sources’ because, and I say this with every ounce of love I can muster as a teacher: while you are entitled to your opinion, that does not make it fact.

🚨NEW🚨: Donald Trump is attempting to strip away federal support for libraries. We will NOT let that happen.

Last night the President signed an order to gut the Institute of Museum & Library Services. But together, we know we can show up & defeat it.
