They are not reading as much as they normally do. colbysharp.substack.com/p/they-are-n...
Not long ago, I was tagged on a post that complained there are too many kids' novels that address grief, and I've been thinking about it ever since. (thread)
I have similar predictions and a few more.
My class loved this one too. They picked up on everything you mentioned.
When you find just the right book for that kid in your class.
Great book at a great bookstore.

I’ve only read 2 of these but that means i have a ton of great reads agead. heavymedal.slj.com/2024/12/13/h...
Read this important book aloud to my class and had a great discussion about censorship. Thank you @ayakhalilauthor.bsky.social for creating this.
Nothing better on the day before break than a visit from our #mockcaldecott winner @deborahfreedman.net to chat with my fourth graders about her books, her process, and Partly Cloudy. They were thrilled to meet you. ❤️❤️❤️

Just when I was making progress on my bedside stack.
#mockcaldecott day 5 . They loved the message and sweeping brush strokes in Touch the Sky. Fourth graders like to retitle every book. So alt title for this one is Keep Trying.

I can’t wait to share it with them. I know they will love it.
I’m reading this book aloud to my class tomorrow so thanks for sharing.
