@HumanitiesSCCSD @SCCentralSD @BellportMiddle1 @TCRWP @MrTonySantana @AssistSuptSCCSD @Dr_Colson3As It was great to be back!

@kat_schechter We love Kat! It was an amazing day of professional learning with our ELA team. We focused on strategy groups, student discourse, and culturally responsive picture books @SCCentralSD @BellportMiddle1 @TCRWP @MrTonySantana @AssistSuptSCCSD @Dr_Colson3As

@Joseph_Fasano_ I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride; so I love you because I know no other way than this: where I does not exist, nor you, so close that your hand on my chest is my hand, so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep.

What line of poetry would you send someone you *really* love?

@juliajassey Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin blew me away.

@StevenACohen2 Love the moves you’re making! Mets fans will be packing Citi Field. We need to take care of two things- fans/AC in the ladies’ bathrooms and the boardwalk between LIRR and 7train is a hazard- someone could really get hurt. I promised my mom I’d let you know💙🧡

@deray Little Red Door. ❤️

One of my best friends is in Paris. Any bars that you’d recommend?

I love @austinkleon’s blackout poetry and I’m really feeling this one today❤️.

I have so much appreciation for the amazing educators from the High School Writing Institute. What a week! ❤️#tcrwp

@MizRizSchyck Still thinking about the narratives you shared!🔥🔥 Thanks for a great week!

Are you teaching Critical Literacy: Unlocking Contemporary Fiction? This month? Next fall? Already taught it? Watch for TIPS in the days of May - planning, materials, student examples and research. #TCRWP heinemann.com/products/e1120…

@paged87 These pictures say so much. Thanks for sharing, Dan!❤️❤️❤️

An incredible day of (socially-distanced) dystopian #bookclub meetings! 7th graders talking about big ideas, complex characters, and what a society really should be like! #tcrwp #middleschool #literacy #WeArePlainedge

@dishwitrish ALL the sage!

@MissNFriday You are amazing

🎉 I DID IT! 🎉 100 books in 365 days! My final book was Brag Better. I ended the year learning how to hype myself up and flex on em a little bit!

Middle and High School teachers... come join us!!

@MsBTWebb @MaryEhrenworth @SeyfriedPhilip It was so great!! Such a pleasure to work with you, Brooke!

I had the most amazing three days of learning and literacy last week!! It was an invigorating #TCRWP institute—Teaching Writing in High School: Infusing the Best of Workshop Methods in secondary ELA. #WorkshopWorksForBigKidsToo @MaryEhrenworth @SeyfriedPhilip @kat_schechter

@colleen_cruz @HeinemannPub Congratulations! Can’t wait to read it.

It’s here! And it’s gorgeous 😍Thank you @HeinemannPub! #riskfailrise

Great Book Club tips!

@MissNFriday Double stuffs are perfection. I’m not going to lie and say Megas don’t fit my mood at the moment. They feel more 2020.

@kat_schechter The mega stuffs are too much for me.. but the double is where it's at. I tried to go back to regular Oreos and was disgusted by the amount of chocolate to cream-filling ratio

The words, “I’m going to eat this whole sleeve of Oreos and I don’t want to hear you say a single word about it” have been spoken in my household this evening. Only one of us has a pandemic Oreo-eating issue... and it’s not Mr. Mitchell.

Mitch McConnell in 2016: “The American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice. Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new president."

If I was a middle/high school teacher, these books would be my starter set for a unit on “Graphic Memoir” #handpicked_GN #tcrwp
