I was told there were some books up for grabs in one of the teacher lounge rooms. I found some treasures to add to my ever-growing classroom library.💚😍

#lae3414sp19 This HF novel by Lauren Tarshis was recently introduced to me by the 3rd grader that I nanny. I have quickly become hooked on this series and frequently read them alongside her. Historical information is presented through a firsthand account of someone who is “there” during this monumental moment in history. Because the main character George is only 10, many children are fascinated by someone their age going through this experience.
I feel like I'm drowning in sadness for my country right now, so I've decided to find the one thing I can do each day to make a tiny difference for someone.
Today it was finding a new distribution site for my TurnAround book program. Our library redistributes children's books that are donated/withdrawn or purchased with grants out to sites in the community we've identified as serving "at risk" families. The books are free.
