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
If you’re anything like me, you listen to @taylorswift when you need moments of serenity & clarity....and when you’re procrastinating grading 😅🤷🏻♀️
Soooo people are STILL talking about this, so I figured I’d wish Halle of @chloexhalle the best while also letting her know that I did it first 💁🏽♀️. Ten year old me is thrilled though, forreal. Also my mom is available to build your costumes because she clearly has the experience. #ariel #littlemermaid #blackgirlmagic #representationmatters #5thgrade #theymadeuslipsync (at Frank P Long Intermediate School) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzoZM8MpRKq/?igshid=m0zyas44bq4h
