Trying not to get sucked in, working for 5 schools means no lunch or bathroom breaks unless you take them. But, some of the good from today...
Kids (Seniors) stayed after class to watch #THUG trailer and were riveted. "Where do I sign up for book club again?"
Senior student learned how to use @OverDriveLibs "Miss. You shouldn't have shown me this."
Senior student: "Is @OverDriveLibs free?" Me: "Yes." Student: "Ok ok Miss. I see you."
Photo shoot happens in the library. I tell kids to go get books that look good to them...it is a feeding frenzy. 7th grade student: "I think I have a sugar high, but for books..."
Junior student gets so lost in a book she leaves without checking it out. "Miss. I haven't checked out a book since 5th grade. I'm sorry! I was just excited."
Student assistant gets hyped after learning how to use the scanner.... there's a long line. She loves it.😍 #FutureBlackLibrarian
Other student assistant reshelves 30 books in no time. 😁😁😁 We re-taught Dewey Decimal system yesterday.
Student shows me art for #ProjectLITBookClub tshirt contest. He doesn't want to sign it. We talk. He signed it.😁
#PrideRemix copies for #ProjectLITBookClub arrive. Student: "Can I just smell them?" 😂
Field trip coordination for massive field trip to go see #TheHateUGiveMovie is daunting but we are doing it. Thank you Mr. LaCrue. You're amazing.❤
After 3 classroom visits, fast and fun time teaching advanced MG students to use QR codes, @vocaroo @ThingLink LION databases and @OverDriveLibs Looking for ePub copies of Cornel West Class Matters for Seniors btw...
Presentation at staff meeting was rescheduled. There is talk of me doing a FB live presentation instead😂😂😂😂 I'm taking myself to lunch. It is 2:30. Peace, y'all ✌🏾
Oh...76 students signed up for book club and...and...checked out two of my fave books today, The Infographic History of the World and The Autobiography of Gucci Mane😁

Happy Saturday! Cleaning the chicken coop, then doing some writing today. Last week, a 10th grader checked out Diary of a Wimpy Kid because that's the last book he remembered reading. Another student (who wasn't checking anything out) tried to clown him about it.
We got over that, but I'm noticing more and more the power students have over eachother (with regard to reading culture).
I know we think (and talk, and write) about the fact that telling Ss they aren't reading "at level", then giving them something to read that's "rigorous" and perhaps inaccessible, then evaluating/judging them on their ability to perform a tasks isn't the best formula.

When we say, "We got work to do," it's important to define the "we", and perhaps shift away from talking and toward actions that will produce results. Shout out to all educators and allies doing the work of making sure students (who will grow up to be voters) #DisruptTexts
Lately, I've been talking with @nenagerman and others about the role of the anti- racist educator in spaces serving predominantly white children vs. spaces with children of color.
Some thoughts: systems and structures predominantly serving children of color are often environments that perpetuate narratives of subordination and white suburban supremacy.

A thread of gratitude to some important people from my life this week...
Shouts to @TheJLV for matching energies and always being there to help me laugh at myself. Open invite to folks to come see us and match energies with us at the #TOCA summit at CU Boulder next month.
A big hug to Kristen Gilligan at @TatteredCover for supporting #ProjectLITMontbello in ways both large and small. Excited about the big exciting things coming up for 2019.

Today a man walked into a synagogue, screamed, “All Jews must die!” and killed 8 people.

At a rally earlier this week, the President repeated a conspiracy theory about “globalists” ruining the world.

“Globalist” is the white nationalist term for “Jew.”
Trump's use of the word "globalist" is a basic reiteration of antisemitism.

His conviction that Jews are at the heart of a "global power structure" which keeps working-class (white) people in bondage is an age-old Jewish conspiracy theory.

It may as well be Mein Kampf.
In the past two years, while criticizing Trump, I have been sent pictures of Jews in ovens, of Jews caricatured like "vermin."

This type of violent antisemitism is popular with the MAGA Trump crowd.

Donald Trump is radicalizing white terrorists.

Class day! For my Twitter auditors, today we'll be discussing Tocqueville's Democracy in America (Vol II, Part II, Ch. 1-8) and Robert Putnam's book, Bowling Alone. Specifically, we're going to discuss the formation of "social capital" in our current climate 1/
I highly recommend Putnam's book in its entirety, but this page has a useful summary of the concepts of "bonding" and "bridging" and why they are important for the health of American society 2/ beyondintractability.org/bksum/putnam-b…
And we'll discuss how these concepts tie into Tocqueville's observations about America in the early 19th century and the contrast today. I especially want the class to think about how the current quote applies today, with regard to our public officials: 3/

Just for a bit of balance when I was trying to get out of special ‘schooling’ in the 1980s none of the local public schools in Campbelltown NSW would take me. Only a local Marist school was accessible & made the effort #schools #education
The principal of one public school looked at me, snorted and said ‘well what are we going to do with this little problem hey?’
The second public school said I’d have to skip maths & science classes and do them in a corridor or the library

#Today's story to #EndFamilySeparation Four months ago, Dad and 4-month-old entered at the Texas/Mexico border and requested #asylum. Dad and child were immediately separated and the baby put in ORR custody. #FamiliesBelongTogether
Dad was detained in a #Texas detention center where @RAICESTEXAS consulted. Dad accepted a deportation to be quickly reunited w/ his infant child. However, the Dad was deported & NOT his child. The now 8-month-old baby has been in ORR custody for 4 months. #EndFamilySeparation
The Mom and Dad now have once weekly Skype calls with their 8-month-old baby. That's right, folks. They Skype with an infant. #EndFamilySeparation #FamiliesBelongTogether
