If you're looking for a way to contribute right now, here's one way! I would love you to join me in donating to Barbershop Books to show your support of #blacklivesmatter. Their mission is to help Black boys ages 4-8 identify as readers by connecting fun books to a male-centered space and by involving Black men in boys' early reading experiences. Right now you can have your donation doubled!

Check out this free video series where Jivey lays out how to make sure your mentor sentence lessons are being carried over into your students' writing!
Use these differentiated paired passages with your students to integrate high-interest, engaging informational passages! There are two passages about bats so that they can compare megabats to microbats. There are also two passages about owls - one about how they hunt and eat, and another about their life cycle. Lastly, use the poem, "The Spider and The Fly" along with an informational passage about the good and bad of spiders. #pairedtexts #readingactivities #fourthgrade #fifthgrade #sixthgrade
During distance learning, your students should still be writing! These writing tools will help your students during distance learning.
Not sure your ready to invest in the Simplified Teacher Planner? This post is an in-depth look into this teacher planner. TheAppliciousTeacher.com
Mentor sentences are the perfect way to teach grammar and author's craft through examples of excellent sentences from your favorite read-aloud books! This bundle is just what you need to implement mentor sentences in your classroom with diverse books! Each of the 10 lessons includes the teacher sentence page, the student sentence page, a lesson plan page with possibilities for all 4 days, and a quiz aligned with CCSS with answer key. #mentortexts #mentorsentences #weneeddiversebooks

Swipe for action steps. Repost from @loveteachbless - Breonna Taylor would have been 27 today. Breonna worked in the healthcare field. She wanted to make a difference in people’s lives. #sayhername #breonnataylor #justiceforbreonnataylor #happybirthdaybreonnataylor #blacklivesmatter #blackgirlsmatter

I have definitely been guilty of this. Thank you D

I have definitely been guilty of this. Thank you Dia for this reminder!! Repost from @elementaryedventure - Your book is not diverse, the collection of books you have is diverse.⁣
⁣
A book featuring characters who are Black, does not have diverse characters. A book featuring characters who are Indigenous, Black, Asian, Latinx, and/or white has diverse characters.⁣
⁣
If you use the term “diverse books” to describe books having characters 𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙣 white, you are centering whiteness. You are indirectly saying that white is the default or standard.⁣
⁣
Diverse is not code for books representing all other races, ethnicities, identities, physical abilities, or beliefs except your own. It means including your own. Language matters.😊 #diversebooks 📚

It’s not enough to make a social media post deno

It’s not enough to make a social media post denouncing racism. In order to be anti-racist, there needs to be change, commitment, and action. As a teacher account, I will be sharing ways you can do this in your classroom (or with your own children at home). If you are already out of school this year, please make some notes to incorporate these ideas next year! ❤️ I get many of my #ownvoicesbooks mentor text ideas from @thetututeacher (you can also follow her at @diversereads) - follow her to keep up with her suggestions! Also, please be respectful of her time and willingness to share these with the teacher community. If you have questions about conversations to be had with students, check out one of the MANY anti-racist books geared for adults, which she also shares in her feed. ❤️ #blacklivesmatter #mentortexts #weneeddiversebooks #teachersfollowteachers #teachersofinstagram #teachersofig

I took an Instagram hiatus because something had to give in my life and that’s what I chose. But I decided I couldn’t allow you to believe I’m being complacent over here with all that’s going on in the world. I am doing my own work for justice, even if you can’t “see” it on an Instagram post. I am privileged because I can do all of these things without thinking twice:
I can go jogging (#AhmaudArbery)
I can relax in the comfort of my own home (#BothemJean and #AtatianaJefferson)
I can ask for help after being in a car crash (#JonathanFerrell and #RenishaMcBride)
I can have a cellphone (#StephonClark)
I can leave a party to get to safety (#JordanEdwards)
I can play loud music (#JordanDavis)
I can sell CDs (#AltonSterling)
I can sleep (#AiyanaJones)
I can walk from the corner store (#MikeBrown)
I can play cops and robbers (#TamirRice)
I can go to church (#Charleston9)
I can walk home with Skittles (#TrayvonMartin)
I can hold a hair brush while leaving my own bachelor party (#SeanBell)
I can party on New Years (#OscarGrant)
I can get a normal traffic ticket (#SandraBland)
I can lawfully carry a weapon (#PhilandoCastile)
I can break down on a public road with car problems (#CoreyJones)
I can shop at Walmart (#JohnCrawford)
I can have a disabled vehicle (#TerrenceCrutcher)
I can read a book in my own car (#KeithScott)
I can be a 10yr old walking with our grandfather (#CliffordGlover)
I can decorate for a party (#ClaudeReese)
I can ask a cop a question (#RandyEvans)
I can cash a check in peace (#YvonneSmallwood)
I can take out my wallet (#AmadouDiallo)
I can breathe (#EricGarner)
I can live (#FreddieGray)
I CAN BE ARRESTED WITHOUT THE FEAR OF BEING MURDERED (#GeorgeFloyd)
White privilege is real. Take a minute to consider a Black person’s experience today. 📸: @missjohnstonsjourney
