4th Grade

She made me change my card everyday

Caught me day dreaming, scribbling

Notes in my notebook, that teacher

Could kill

with those skinny eyes

Sent to school counsellor

for adverse reaction because this one girl

Who hated my guts--not like love/hate

But straight up hated me-- took my notebook from me and ripped all the pages out

My face reddened.

I couldn't focus, or pay attention

But I can tell you one thing, I loved making her mad

Not I hate your guts mad, and not

Love/hate, just

Hate/love

The difference being

She was a maddened

Angel of death

On the dodgeball field,

Pages swirling around

Her like a vortex of wind

And I could only just stand

For a little longer

Before my knobble knees

Gave out

And then wow, there's so

Much light from the sun.

Wow. This book. This book is one of those cultural gems that arise every few years - decades? - that speaks right to the heart of a people. Of history. The Undefeated, written by Kwame Alexander and illustrated by Kadir Nelson, is a book that makes my heart want to burst. From awe. From sadness. From...hope. This is a book that every library - public and classroom - needs to have. Wow. Just wow. #teachersofinstagram #teachingliteracy #thatbooklife #picturebooks #readalouds #reading #books #teachersfollowteachers #2ndgrade #1stgrade #kindergarten #4thgrade #5thgrade #6thgrade #3rdgrade #weneeddiversebooks #history #americanhistory #blackhistory #theundefeated #kwamealexander #kadirnelson https://www.instagram.com/p/BwZ9OHlhNXq/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1f2ptum3szbpl

I had the best time working with this 4th grade class on a Paint the Wind Escape Room! Their collaborative skills and deep understanding of the text were front and center this morning. I was very impressed by how well they worked together to solve the tasks! The winning time was just under 30 minutes. Amazing! 🤓 #teachersofinstagram #teachingliteracy #thatbooklife #paintthewind #pammunozryan #4thgrade #escaperoom #collaboration #novelstudy #elementary #books
