Collage/ painting by 6-8 yr old students inspired by José Ramírez’ work, LA artist. We read his books, studied his work, & sketched before creating a plant/animal on black paper w/ oil pastels. Kids used acrylic paint on canvas & re-outlined plants/animals & abstract shapes w/ oil pastels.

The world’s chaotic but reading grounds us. Pitu le baila al mar is the story of an afrolatina girl who loves to dance. She navigates challenges w/ 2 loving mothers who affirm that any body type can dance. Perfect story to discuss family structure, body stereotypes, & identity. #duallanguage #edusky

Today is the 35th anniversary of the Capitol Crawl, in which disabled activists discarded their mobility aids at the foot of the Capitol steps to climb them in support of passage of the Americans with Disabilities Ac. Jennifer Keelan-Chaffins, 8, told reporters "I'll take all night if I have to!"

The world’s a cliff crumbling into the sea, but we have books. Una historia diferente is about a child trying to understand unhoused people in her community.
