A School Librarian Sharing Books & #ClassroomBookADay

These are the books I’ve been reading since I got back to start working in my classroom mid-August. Almost all of… Read More

But I wanted to share some of what I read over the last part of summer that I’ve added to my classroom library so you can watch for these titles,… Read More
