I'd like to take this opportunity to extend all the 🎉HAPPY BIRTHDAY🎉 wishes to the fabulous, the one and only, the realest and most loving-- @getnicced

A thread of reasons why you need her and her books in your life!
Dear Martin was a #ProjectLITBookClub 2017-18 selection and I have yet to meet a student who doesn't wild out over this book. My copies are continually checked out/on the "extended borrow" aka "missing".
Nic came to Montbello for a little over two hours, and changed lives. She hugged and signed books, took selfies, read the first chapter of her book, and breathed life into our book starved community.

Read about it...

She genuinely loves the kids--and shows with action--around the clock. See her TL or gram for receipts. She does not have to do this. She does anyway.🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Nic knows how to speak openly, yet honestly about the experience of becoming and being a writer, which is so important for our kids to hear.

You've heard it said before, "You can't be what you can't see." We are living in wonderful times for our children to have people like Nic to look up to. So see this one here. Read her work. Invite her into your schools, communities, and children's hearts.
So, Happy Birthday, @getnicced !! Thank you for all you bring to this great work. Sending hugs and appreciation from Montbello, and The Mile High City! You the BEST!
Oh! And I would be remiss if I didn't send y'all to the pre-order link for #OddOneOut This book is changing the world AGAIN. Scoop it up and add it to your summer stack if you know what's good.

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.

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."

So I'm going to post some links.... All purchases go to supporting initiatives I am a part of/helping to lead. Recently had somebody reach out asking for my Venmo to compensate me for all they learn from me on Twitter. I appreciate that. Here are additional ways...[THREAD]
#Educolor is my heart home. It is where familia, intense dreaming, and powerful activism centered around educational equity starts and ends for me.
#DisruptTexts is a little thing we have going on recognized by @NYTimesLearning and @chicagotribune so let's keep disrupting the literary canon and all THAT.

My first #librarian PD day was like this... [a thread]
So, we're meeting at the School of the Arts, but they don't have a library anymore, so instead of meeting in the library, we're meeting in the cafeteria. It was beautiful, but I am directionally challenged, so I got lost...as always...and was like...
We're going to hear some statistics and get hyped, but also sad, but also hyped: 250,000 in ebook check-outs, but schools can opt-out of having library services. There is grant money available, but as people retire, they're not being replaced.

Soooo one of the first pieces of news I heard this morning was about white nationalist rallies in DC, Charlottesville, and perhaps across the country.
It is shameful and beyond embarrassing (I have International friends all over the world) to think about how these are the same people who say the pledge of allegiance to, "One nation, under God, indivisible..."
It is difficult for me to understand the folks who throw their hands up, ignore, "don't know what to do..." because every move counts. Every conversation with your racist family member.

Good morning to all educators committed to reconsidering "behavior issues" and rebranding them as opportunities to invite someone in to conversation and connection. These are the moments for us to line up actions with all the things we say we believe.
As folks are designing behavior policies, codes of conduct, and expectations this time of year, it is especially important to remember the end goal and desired tone or flavor you want a classroom or school to have.
Focus too much on outcomes you do NOT want, and that's exactly what you're going to get. Children want to be happy. They are wired to love.
