2/2 The parallels of books 4/5/6 made me gasp out loud at times. Hidden children, govt overreach/corruption, propaganda machine. Read it together, discuss it. This is why books are so important. Every kid has been enamored w/ this series. My son has read 1st 5 in 1 month. HIGHLY rec the audiobooks!

I teach my 4th graders about the Navajo Code Talkers every year in library during Indigenous Peoples Months. Are these the types of lessons people can now report me for on the new DOE teacher reporting portal? This is all so crazy.
