Action packed, full of parental advice, both my tween and I loved this book. My tween wanted more connection to the sequel. (I think that could be its own book!)

New website looking for people to give “tips” (turning in people who support human rights in education for investigation) by the Department of Education.
It would be a shame if this website was flooded with tips about Trump and Elon Musk instead of its intended use.
Such a shame. 😇

This is the English book that LitHouse Learning uses with their level 3 units. It reminds me of the Big Fat Notebooks from Workman Publishing. It’s a super easy read, and gives some of space to practice the concepts taught.

My child: “If you think you need to use a bread as a binder to make a latke, you shouldn’t be making latkes.”

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.
This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.
Auschwitz took time.
