Celebrating #WorldReadAloudDay by reading “I Am Human” by @peterhreynolds - a great reminder that we are all full of possibilities! @3xjoy @teacherstone @litworldsays @Scholastic

In honor of World Read Aloud Day, we listened to a female astronaut read one of my favorite books “Rosie Revere, Engineer.” Great messages about women in space, growth mindset, and the value of making mistakes. #theGarinWay #WeareBUSD

A few of us hosted a “book tasting” to kick-start book clubs after being inspired by the last CCRA meeting. Were you inspired to try something new?
