A School Librarian Sharing Books & #ClassroomBookADay
For the past couple of years, I’ve been participating in Cathy & Mandy’s #pb10for10 event to celebrate picture books that are must haves for my classroom to share with students.

You… Read More
Since I want to focus on keeping things positive for my reading recommendations, and I couldn’t really think of enough ideas for this week’s official Top Ten Tuesday topic, I decided to create my own. 🙂 I made it a priority to read more picture books starting this summer (I ended up reading almost 100 from the time school ended… Read More
