Stop and think about the students in your classroom. 🤔⁣ ⁣ Do any of them look like the person on this cover?⁣ ⁣ At the beginning of every school year, thousands of teachers discuss the importance of respecting and valuing others’ as an expectation for their classroom. We hope that students automatically apply this expected norm to their classmates, but stating it out loud and slapping it on a poster does not make it happen. Students need repeated opportunities to internalize this norm and execute it in their lives.⁣ ⁣ Enter picture books. ⁣ ⁣ Picture books have the power to highlight a real-life issue and engage children in conversations that expand their worldview. Reading books like My Hair is a Garden gives students a chance to explore potentially vulnerable topics through the guise of another person’s story. ⁣ ⁣ My Hair is a Garden is a glorious read aloud because it challenges “standard” notions of beauty and embraces the fact that Black IS Beautiful. ⁣ ⁣ Think about what a book like this will do for students who look like the person on the cover AND those who don’t...who may think of beauty only though the lens of who mainstream media tells is worthy of respect and value. ⁣ ⁣ That type of empowerment is what moves the needle from respect and value on a poster, to respect and value in the ❤️. ⁣ ⁣ #teachingliteracy #readingspecialist #thatbooklife #teachersofinstagram #teachersfollowteachers #weneeddiversebooks #diversereads #blackisbeautiful #picturebooks #readaloud #backtoschool #classroomexpectations #challengingnorms #poc #myhairisagarden #cozbiacabrera https://www.instagram.com/p/B0BQNHHhn8w/?igshid=pkxukx2aow3o

New Blog: Fingers Crossed

Created my first post on the new blog. My long term goal is to post weekly. As for the next few months posts may vary between bi-weekly and monthly until I can get a routine established. Please share the love and the word. https://magicisinthepages.com/2019/08/16/about-a-short-history/

Option #2 for my possible bookshelf project. Except this one is far larger than the first and offers more room for a "jungle" to grow! Can I just have both? #bookshelves #thatbooklife #dreaminginsteadofwriting

I found this adorable work space in Austin today after our flight got moved to tomorrow. I think I might take this color scheme back to my own home! DM me and tell me where you prefer to work - in comfy areas or more structures spaces? #teachersofinstagram #teachingliteracy #thatbooklife #teachersfollowteachers #tpt #teacherspayteachers #workspace #austin (at Fareground at One Eleven) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bzy6y5Jh4l7/?igshid=1d3udrbrkbbdq

#flashback to Book Con 2019, when I finally met Mackenzi Lee in person... I told her how I recently bought her books for myself, and then a day later, @madam_pince (who kept telling me how amazing the books were) gifted the book for my bday, so I had two of them, and Mackenzi signed both copies for me (YAY!). A few weeks after Book Con, I unexpectedly moved and those books were boxed for almost a year. Sorry books! Well, I recently found them and the extra SIGNED book just might be one of my Book Con giveaways this weekend! Just saying.... Stick around. #flashbackfriday #bookcon2019 #bookcon #bookconline #bookcon2020 #staytuned #thatbooklife (at Javits Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAx7du9A8h-/?igshid=94jje72y7a2u

Option #1 for creating my new book shelf. Honestly, I don't even want to pick anything else because this seems like such a simple but sleek looking alternative to me trying to cram books into spaced they just don't fit in my apartment. #writertuesdays #bookshelves #thatbooklife
