It's October, and I'm finally getting the chance to read @michaelregina's The Sleepover! My Adamsville bookmark probably won't be getting much work as I fly through this creepy graphic novel.

Saw a second grader drawing today and asked what he was making. "It's a mindflayer. It's from Stranger Things, my favorite show. I've watched it since I was 5." I really want this to be a lie, but I doubt it is. Please parent, parents.

I use the song "Prayer of the Refugee" by @riseagainst in my classroom as part of our practice with tone and figurative language, as well as for comparing to other texts about and by refugees. This year, a student gifted me a copy signed by lead singer Tim McIlrath. So cool!

Perfect for fans of Stranger Things, THE SLEEPOVER by Michael Regina is a middle grade graphic novel for horror buffs and fans of stories about friends and family. More here: bit.ly/3H4i3Pi
Bought some prints for gifts for small- business Saturday. The one with the girl reading and her head filled with stories will be making its way into my daughter's room. It's fantastic!

My daughter chose to read this book tonight, and I guess because the debate was fresh in my mind I finally made the connection. A couple quick changes on the cover (leave the orange color and small hands, of course) and this is a presidential biography. #Debates2020 #mrcontrary

I'm reading students' end of year "Who I am as a Reader?" reflections and a student said she realized this year that she is stronger when she is reading one book at a time. She called this being a monogamous reader, and I am absolutely going to use this phrase in the future.
