Lovely people still exist. A man picked up an old desk that I was selling and told me that it was for his girlfriend. It's a surprise. She's an artist who doesn't think she can make a living at her art, but he wants her to have the chance to try.

When a class have got independent reading time, try to sit with the children and read alongside them. Share the book you're reading, talk about why you're enjoying it and ask them about their choices. The impact on attitudes to reading will be massive. Organising the glue tray can wait.

Just received this photo from a friend of a warehouse in Kinshasa. These are tuberculosis medications--ALREADY PAID FOR--that aren't being distributed due to the Trump Administration's stop work order. TB treatment is being interrupted in SO many patients around the world. What does that mean? (1/2)
