Please retweet and help us bring our Reagan doll home. This was my niece’s doll and our family is heartbroken all over again.

To the family, the doll holds great significance as it was given to their daughter on her 10th birthday, before she died in December #bringbackreagansdoll abc7.com/santa-ana-fami…

“If kids open books and "the images they see [of themselves] are distorted, negative [or] laughable, they learn a powerful lesson about how they are devalued in the society in which they are a part," Rudine Sims Bishop, a scholar of children's literature, wrote in a 1990 article

Posting this again for teachers who haven’t read this. This is why I don’t celebrate Dr. Seuss during Read Across America. This matters to our students of color. It matters to me. When you know better, you do better. theconsciouskid.org/blog/2018/2/18…

What is my job when students have access to all the knowledge in the world in the palm of their hands? My job is to INSPIRE and ENGAGE. #CASTEAM19 #proud2bePUSD

Tinkering, making, and engineering. Collaborating to create a wheel that’ll go the farthest. All we used was paper plates, pipe cleaner, and a chopstick. @mrs_stodola @ArmstrongPUSD #CASTEAM19 #proud2bePUSD #STEAM
