Good morning and happy first day of school for many! A Thousand Questions is out in a month and I'm giving away one ARC to a teacher! Follow me, like this tweet, and RT to enter. Ends today at midnight. USA only please.

At the beginning of the year, I asked my students which books they would love to see fill our bookshelves. As a first-year teacher, it's important to me that my students have books available to them that they WANT to read! Please consider helping us out!😊 amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls…

My heart is OVERFLOWING. Students are reading and finding books they truly love. Karen M. McManus Updates thank for crafting books my students WANT to read!

What happens when your school pivots to full remote learning when you’re about to start your first class novel? Home deliveries it is! There’s something magical about holding the actual book in your hands, and I want each of my kids to experience it 🖤

Thank you! I would be nowhere without the women whose footsteps I dance in. While reciting my poem, I wore a ring with a caged bird—a gift from Oprah Winfrey for the occasion , to symbolize Maya Angelou, a previous inaugural poet. Here’s to the women who have climbed my hills before.

As reading The Giver comes to a close, I’m so happy with what my kids are leaving this unit with. In today’s world, it’s vital to reflect on our own society 🤍

Students wrote letters to @LoisLowryWriter expressing their thoughts on The Giver and how they can apply the text to their lives.. and we received RESPONSES! My teacher heart is overjoyed at their excitement. #MASDproud

1/2 Humbled to be the first poet to perform at the Super Bowl! I'm so excited to place poetry at the forefront of the most watched U.S. television broadcast, & to honor 3 heroes of the coronavirus pandemic. Can’t wait for the world to hear their stories! variety.com/2021/tv/news/a…

Happy moment today in English class! He started the year saying he “hated” to read and today he finished his novel and liked it so much he asked for the next one. Thanks Veronica Roth for helping my kids love to read with your The Divergent Series series. 😊
