What does normal mean to you? Students in grades 4, 5 and 6 were honored to have that conversation with Magdalena and Nathaniel Newman, authors of Normal. We are so grateful to have experienced their positivity, kindness and generosity. @CheshirePublic @HighlandCT #normal #wonder

Rave reviews are piling in from grade 3, 4 and 5 classroom teachers, as they read “Normal” aloud to their students. Written by real life wonder and his mom, Nathaniel and Magdalena Newman share their own courageous journey. @CheshirePublic @HighlandCT #whatisnormal

Missing teaching my students in person, but receiving photos each day certainly helps. @CheshirePublic @HighlandCT @HanlonEducator @CheshireSuper #remotelearning #remoteteaching #designthinking #elementarylibrary #schoollibrary #teachersofinstagram
