@iChrisLehman Think blends and digraphs to start and end words. Also r-controlled vowels.

@colbysharp I asked my first graders what they would miss during the 2 weeks. They said each other was what they would miss the most. ❤️

@colbysharp Zoom fatigue is real. Sigh.

@Connellybooks Brass Verdict 📚

The question is: In which book did Mickey Haller meet his half brother, Harry Bosch?

We’re so excited about The Law Of Innocence coming out in less than a month and we want to share that excitement with you. We’ll give this galley away to a randomly picked person who replies with the correct answer—within this hour—to the following question: 1/2

@TeachMrReed @MonieFreshh Oh my! How generous. ❤️ I’m a first grade teacher doing my best to virtually foster lifelong readers and writers. Venmo: Lisa-Ahlstrom

These first few weeks of virtual school have been TOUGH, so @MonieFreshh and I have decided to help lighten the load in some small way. Today, we’ll be buying lunch for teachers, no strings attached. Post your Cash App or Venmo along w/ what you teach, and enjoy a meal on us.

@EliseGravel @mtinsandiego Our first graders love these books!

@Jarrett_Lerner @RFCBookstore

EDUCATORS: Do you have a favorite local independent bookstore? I want to support you, them, AND your students! Please tag your indie below, or just share their website. In the coming days, I’ll be selecting several educators to receive a gift card to the store of their choice!

@shelbiewitte @teachkate I am a first grade teacher in San Diego and trying to get art supplies to send home to my students and improve the diversity of my classroom library: amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls…

@itskatelambert I am a first grade teacher and am hoping to provide math kits for students to use at home during distance learning. You can find my Donors Choose page here: donorschoose.org/project/marvel…

@Jarrett_Lerner This is amazing! I am always looking to add to my classroom library and put great books in the hands of my first graders. amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls…

Lastly, a promise: for every dollar spent on Amazon, I'll spend a dollar at an indie bookstore on books that will be donated directly to students, educators, and/or schools. Educators: STAY SAFE, and advocate for yourself and your students. THANK YOU for doing what you do. 3/3

I've decided that one of the best, most direct ways I can support educators and students this school year is to help #ClearTheList for as many as I can, so I've set aside some money I've fundraised this summer for kids' book access efforts to do so. Share your lists below! 1/3

@TSA Can I check an antique lighter in my bag?

@AskTSA Can I carry on used bullet casings?
