I'm so excited to get to add these books to our critical literacy book collection! Thanks to everyone who helped fund our grant! @SoutheasternEl1@MissStein6
Ally Stein @asteinnn43 and I are working to get books in our classrooms that promote critical thinking. Check out my classroom on @DonorsChoose! I'd love your help to bring my project to life: https://t.co/wfHlZD8ozO
It's so important to have books that encourage students to think critically about the world and help them engage in shared inquiry discussion. @MissStein6 and I have written this grant to get more of this literacy in our classrooms.
