A stroll through local Teatown Reservation is even better when you get to read pages on a path alongside the lake. My 8-year-old asked, “Mamá, can we get Over and Under at the library so I can read it again”? @KateMessner@csneal@Teatown_
Brookside book fair success! She’s loving Alérgica, Spanish language edition, by Megan Wagner Lloyd & Michelle Mee Nutter, ed. by Maria Domínguez y Abel Berriz. Love how she’s growing her reading taste and exploring new books in Spanish and in English. ❤️ bilingual education!

@OssiningSup @PaulForbesNYC@DealyOSuccess@LynnAllenEdD@pnwboces Sienna really enjoyed this experience. As a 5th grader, I don’t think she realized the scope of the work. Great for her to see how many other students are involved across many schools and grade levels.
@DealyOSuccess@PaulForbesNYC@Ann_LeadnLearn @OssiningSup @LynnAllenEdD I think it was great for Sienna to see how many other students participate in equity and leadership groups, and to see what the older students presented. She really enjoyed the experience.
@KelseyLCohen@VocesBlog @EmmaOtheguy Besides being a fan of the name Ramos, love Emma Otheguy books (and interestingly, taught a Reyna Ramos—powerful name! 👑). Still remember Otheguy visiting our school just before pandemic shutdown.
@Jess5th Appreciate how this provides young people opportunities to explore many sides. Also shows how different people may feel different things are unfair and to different degrees. Also gives space to discuss person/people with power and rules.
My 4th grader’s current library books. Thank you OUFSD, teachers, and librarians for continuing to cultivate a ❤️ of reading 📚(Libros en español book stack not yet pictured) @OssiningSchools
6 year-old’s version of an important letter to the President of the United States about families spending too much on stuff and lowering prices: “Mami, take a picture and text it to the president right now”.
@Mscubitt Also tried some NF writing without too much directed structure. Mentors lead the way more as well. Noticed more voice in their writing. Curious how you framed and carried out the unit.
