My 6-yr old came home from school with this book after visiting their book fair. I asked her why she chose it. She simply said, “Because the girl has eyes like our eyes, Mommy - and they’re beautiful.” This is why representation matters. Thank you, @JoannaHoWrites. 🙏🏽♥️

Just watch this video. Just watch.

Schools spend so much time talking about tier 2 & tier 3 interventions. The things we do for some kids, sometimes. We can nullify the need for so many of these conversations if we’d just dial in to great tier 1 instruction. What are we doing for all kids, all the time? #edchat
