I’ve said it before, but it’s worth saying again: Jason Reynolds is a genius of our time. Hearing him speak feels like what it must have been like to listen to Mozart in person or watch Michelangelo paint the Sistine Chapel. #AASL25

After reading Goldilocks, preschool wanted to fix a problem for Baby Bear by finding a new chair. They decided what Baby Bear would want, analyzed 60 different pictures of chairs, labeled his new chair, tested it out, drew a picture, and built one with Legos.

Junior Kindergarten has been learning about the difference between fiction and nonfiction. After reading about elephants on PebbleGo they listened to the book Strictly No Elephants. Then they used felt shapes to make their own pet to join the Pet Club. We even used puppets as our models. #dcdsreads

Four of the Big Five Publishers Sign Letter Urging Congress to Restore IMLS
Shuttering IMLS would be "an act of monumental neglect, violating the very foundation of America and what it stands for as a country," the publishers assert.
