Last week marked the debut of our second annual Humans of Bloomfield project. Some neat contributions from a lot of my junior students. Great to see! #ela #teachersofinstagram… instagram.com/glennmccarty/p…

"Everything's inspired by Duck Tales." - Me, a minute ago, to my wife. That, my friends/fans, is a helpful paradigm. First, there was Indy. Then, there was Uncle Scrooge. And Carl Frederickson. #ducktales #writing #inspiration #adventureisoutthere

In honor of the incomparable @leeunkrich, re-watched Toy Story 3 w/ the boys today. Hilarious, smart, clever, and most of all, makes me love the world I live in more. What more could you ask of a story? Thanks, Lee. #Pixar #toystory

Gettin’ after it in Gatsby today. #gatsby #howweroll #literaturelover instagram.com/glennmccarty/p…

I'm confounded by the viewpoint that loyalty to an institution equals ignoring any obvious mistakes made by that institution or its members, even if acknowledging mistakes might lead to strengthening the institution long-term. Seeing that on many fronts these days... #SMH

Book cover challenge from Andy Doell accepted! Piece of cake (or doughnut)! Thanks for asking! No #tumbleweedthompson without this guy. I nominate Chris Compson.

Day 2 of Book Cover Challenge! Not just this book, but this 1970 Collier-Macmillan PB edition. It has it all, and still does. Some day I'll be old enough to read it properly... #cslewis #BookCoverChallenge BloomfieldTech Andy Doell

Day 3 (after a break...) of the Book Cover Challenge. Another classic middle grade with plenty of heart and humor! I nominate @JKingBloomfield #BookCoverChallenge

I’m so excited to finally share... POP THE BRONZE BALLOON has a cover and its breathtaking! Thank you Amberjack Publishing and Gabrielle Esposito. I seriously melt every time I look at it! ❤️💜💛 #TheCrimsonFive #mglit #PoptheBronzeBalloon #STEMbooks #CoverReveal

“It is important that you say what you mean to say. Time is too short. You must speak the words that matter.” Day 4 of #BookCoverChallenge - hard to choose just one from Kate DiCamillo, but this one has always blown me away. Nominating Jackie Yeager ✨

So Romeo and Juliet is a lot of things, but I like to think of it as an extremely prescient play about the importance of not re-tweeting fake news... #NoFakeNews #Shakespeare #itsametaphor #romeoandjuliet

Gmorning. Their pace is not your pace. Their pace is not your pace. Their pace is not your pace. Be patient with yourself. Find your pace.

In the original #ToyStory, Sid took living toys apart and recombined their bodies in ways that created new living toys... but did he create new hybrid personalities altogether (a la Star Trek's Tuvix), or did the original consciousnesses remain (and, if so, with which pieces)?

love knowing that some of the most thoughtful, brilliant, creative people on the planet are working their tails off right now, not for our money, or control or power, but just so they can tell amazing stories for all of us. Thanks, PixarAnimation Pixar Inc. #thankspixar

I love reading long-form pieces about the backstories of sporting heroes. And this one, about America's next great goal-scorer Ricardo Pepi, is as good as it gets. Bravo, @R_AndradeFranco espn.com/soccer/united-…
