#TheSealeyChallenge Day 28: Meet Me At the Lighthouse by Dana Gioia

#TheSealeyChallenge Day 29: Even the Saints Audition by Raych Jackson

#TheSealeyChallenge Day 30: The Twenty-Ninth Year by Hala Alyan My ability to keep reading during the first week of school always impresses me. It could just be that poetry is a necessity in life.

#TheSealeyChallenge Day 31: Native Guard by Natasha Trethewey Because I was pressed for time, I needed to find something that would be short, brilliant, and riveting. This collection was a good way to end @thesealeychallenge.

Happy birthday to Scott Bayer #THEBOOKCHAT co-founder, who inspires me to read fantastic books and be the best teacher I can be!

Twitter fam: Some news about #THEBOOKCHAT

My day just got sooooo much better!!!

We should never lose sight of the fact that high school is hard. It is one of the hardest things many of us ever have to do. 7-8 hours of required focus, all of our movements (eating, going to bathroom etc) policed at all times, constant work we may or may not have interest in.

Only a couple more orders needed to reach the printing minimum. If you were on the fence, please consider getting a #TeachLivingPoets tee! customink.com/fundraising/su…

I just received a package with these books from my classroom wishlist. There was nothing to indicate who sent them, so I'll express my deep gratitude in the hopes that they see it! This means so much to me! To whoever sent these, thank you!

THIS IS SO EXCITING!!!

Here's my wishlist for the school year! Lots of care cart stuff, but there are some things we need bc I'm moving classrooms and moving to more paper-based assessments the first semester. Thank y'all for your support, as always, and please share! 💜💜 amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls…

I'm updating my Amazon wishlist with books and supplies for the upcoming school year. Any help would be greatly appreciated! amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls…
