How do you protect books on the bottom shelf from pets?
I have floor to ceiling shelves that are nearly full. One of my dogs peed on two lower shelves (and miraculously missed the books). I just don’t have a place for the larger heavy books like yearbooks and scrapbooks.
Help!?

What is the most suspenseful*, realistic thriller you’ve read recently? I need something fast that keeps me guessing.
Bonus points if it’s not over 400 pages.
*Gore isn’t suspenseful for me.

Who can share what it looks like to use Poetry Pauses in a 48-minute HS ELA class period when also teaching a short story or seminal document? How did you prep students for the routine? When did you start? First day? 2nd week?

Two questions:
Do you write reviews for the majority of Books you rate with stars ?
Do you have a minimum star limit, as in you won’t give any book less than a certain number of stars?

This is a blatant attention seeking post. I don’t actually believe anyone can see my posts because I have followers, but no one interacts.

Every time I see teachers post about reading The Poet X in class, my heart breaks a little because my school district banned it. It remains the most powerful catalyst to get teens reading I’ve ever taught.

So yes, spare me with the "Canada should be nice to us" rhetoric.
We are like the narcissist whose nice friend reaches their final straw. They are DONE with America & Americans. Michigan will suffer from this, and so will the entire country.
(And yet your MAGA relatives STILL won't repent.)

A school board member, not sure if it was the same one, used her “stop reading” power to get around using a committee to ban more books this week.

Black people tried to tell y’all that racism and white supremacy harms everyone, but we were ignored.
Too many thought white supremacy only harms Black or Jewish people. Now we got neo nazi’s in the White House.
