Today, we read “Grumpy Pants” by @littleMissInky and talked about things that make us grumpy. After the activity, we put our 👖 in the “washer” to get rid of all the grumpiness! 😊 #MyLibraryStory

"I think young people should not be judged by the level of their reading but by the way a book makes them think and feel. By the way it gives them hope. By the way it opens them up to new perspectives and changes them." Wisdom & eloquence from @JackieWoodson @ncte

At the end of the week, this is what my K-1st grade section looks like—so empty! Our library is “at risk” please donate to our library fund so our students can have access to a variety of books and invest in a life long reader! Link in bio 🔝 @TCSBoardofEd #MyLibraryStory
