Rant alert re: misused homophones - pet peeve I wish I didn't have. Read my 1st adult contemporary fiction book in a long time for book club, thought it intelligent & clever. Then...the misuse of palette for palate, multiple times. The horror! The horror! Share your homophone horrors? #homophones

❤️ this! "...using picture books for STEAM and PBL is about building bridges: between literacy and science, imagination and innovation, the classroom and the real world...we offer students the tools to question, create, experience, and connect."

Without his wife Sophie, Wilson Rawls wouldn't have pubbed WHERE THE RED FERN GROWS. WOODY'S WORDS tells that story. What did you achieve b/c you asked for help? What if you didn't ask?
