I love bookmail from Andrews McMeel ! Sitting down to read today!

Love this super well researched, fun, and engaging history of video games from Andrews McMeel . This will be going into my class as a shining example of researching and presenting on a personal passion. The combination of comics and video games is just awesomeness.

Powerful free resource for the classroom to teach about Japanese American camps during WW2 - and also how to make your own comics - americanhistory.si.edu/sites/default/…

Japanese Mythology/culture. Brilliant story-telling. Emotionally intelligent/adorable art. Vital messages of not being too quick to judge & how to overcome differences to see individual in front of you. Putting in my fairy-tale/mythology unit Penguin Random House 🐧🏠📚

Every teacher today.

I’m not a naturally smart man. But I read. A lot. I don’t know how to diagram a sentence, but I know what good reading looks like. I tell my students every year, being an analytical reader will lift them in all areas of life. I have global empathy from reading. So do my kids.

HIGHLY recommend this awesomeness by Jarrett Lerner!

My book is three years old today! Thank you to everyone for your love and support! Comics = literacy.
