@CRSRipley Please share the recipe!! I have the same dietary restrictions, and not being able to eat Mac and Cheese is the absolute saddest thing in my life.

I made gluten-free, vegan mac & cheese for my diet-restricted husband, who gave it his highest compliment in a next-day review: "It tasted like it should have made me sick but it didn't!"

@missessp I teach “The Absolutely True Diary of a Part Time Indian” by Sherman Alexie. During Back to School night, I provide parents with an intro. I allow parents to ask questions/explain why I chose the book and I also send home letters to parents that they sign.

Attention middle school English teachers: What are some culturally responsive books that you have taught that were particularly successful in terms of student engagement?

@TellTaleTeachr @ncte So let’s keep getting specific...Latinx from where, geography/race/ethnicity/social class/immigrant status or longtime inhabiters/community connections to Indigeneity etc... and book only or other genres? Nonfiction also? Finally— amplify resistance and joy, not only struggle. 💜

@AbbyRombalski @ncte My school demographics are about 90% Hispanic and have a high percentage of African-American students as well, so any book that discusses the struggles of POC. Any book that features a protagonist who my students can relate to is 👌🏾

@lipatel @AbbyRombalski @ncte True. I gave a little more context- I’m looking for novels where the protagonist is a young minority. My goal is to get the students discussing social issues surrounding people of color.

@magicalmsmurphy @ncte “The Rose That Grew From Concrete” would be a great poem to start the year off with to get the students thinking about having a growth mindset and overcoming the obstacles that will come this school year.

Please help me provide my students with a culturally responsive novel that will promote discussion and critical thinking surrounding current social issues. Donations to my classroom are currently being matched! #thehateugive donorschoo.se/e/WxHyhgVxFY
