What a gift to listen to Hanif Abdurraqib read his poetry this morning and hear Melissa Smith #TeachLivingPoets Joel /hō•ÉL/ Garza is cofounder of #THEBOOKCHAT 📓 and Scott Bayer #THEBOOKCHAT co-founder share how they implement his work in classrooms. I’m grateful for the opportunity!

Wrapped up my #NCTE23 sessions talking about food stories with my favorites, LaMar - …Talented & Radient ✨💫 ☀️ and Nawal Qarooni | NQC Literacy | @nqarooni on IG! What a joy to share our own food stories and invite others to share theirs and do this work with their students. ❤️

Also, our shoe game was 🤌🏼😘

this, again, one of the greatest things on the internet. You can't not groove to this.

How teachers can rediscover the joy of recreational reading kqed.org/mindshift/6214…

Today, we did a gallery walk of the 6 poems they can choose for their own analysis. They're all thematically linked, but I haven't told them how. They spent 5 minutes reading each poem and reacting on this sheet (developed by my love Scott Bayer #THEBOOKCHAT co-founder) docs.google.com/document/d/1Yf… 7/x

This is really cool. Also the woman’s voice goes wonderful with that bass

Clouds, man.
