In 'Words with Wings and Magic Things,' poetry is beautifully illustrated — and fun!

The devastation from wildfires can be hard to fathom. These books can help young people process what's happening.

📙They Hold the Line: Wildfires, Wildlands, and the Firefighters Who Brave Them
📗What to Bring
📘I Am the Storm
📕Wildfire!

Thoughts with those on the front lines fighting to save.🙏🏻
This is such a cool approach to thinking about primary sources! Thanks for sharing!
Happy New Year! May 2025 hold many amazing things - including great books and lots of learning. 📚❤️

Hello friendos

Your librarian here with the library tip

Your library might have a collection of Useful Things you can check out for personal use. Anything from tools to baking pans to garden seeds to home projectors to toys to science kits to sports equipment to music instruments. Take a look!
Very cool! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for reposting, Melynee!
Elementary teachers: What’s something you tried in your classroom this week that worked? 📚❤️ #EduSky
That trust is so important!
One of my goals this year is increasing opportunities for teachers to do peer visits - would love to hear about effective intervisitation strategies/protocols/ideas teachers have found helpful in other districts! #EduSky
