Please don't tell kids that old "First Thanksgiving" myth and pass it off as actual history. Share books like these this week instead.

History is always relevant. It’s unfortunate that we keep treading these same paths, but thank god we always have families who love each other.

At ALAN @kwamembalia.bsky.social said, “Before I was a writer, I was a reader.” Such a succinct reminder that supporting our students’ reading lives is important work. Reading & writing are so intrinsically linked & our kids need time to read widely so they can write powerfully. #ALAN24 #EduSky

An inspirational ending of Day 1 of #ALAN24 with Randy Ribay's metaphor of the sequoia tree facts as related to letting them read.
