Weekly Links #26

Happy Sunday, friends! We hope you’ve had a restful weekend and are readying the rain boots and floaties for another drenched week. Did you see any snow in your neck of the woods? It can feel like magic, especially if you get to share it with kiddos.

Here are a few offerings to wind down your weekend.

February 19 is the Day of Remembrance for Japanese-American Internment during World War II. Have you read George Takei’s powerful graphic memoir They Called Us Enemy? Definitely a worthy addition to your classroom library.

And speaking of observances, February 20 is United Nations World Day of Social Justice.

Have you used the New York Times Learning Network’s resources in your classroom? They recently created a YouTube channel to make their webinars for teachers available.

Assuming it doesn’t result in a Schrutebucks situation, Paygrade might be an interesting resource for helping students learn about managing money.

Last but not least, definitely check out Nikole Hannah-Jones on The Daily Show. If you watch nothing else, take a literal minute to listen to her from 3:38-4;38.

Happy Sunday!
