We are so grateful @PatriciaToht could come and visit the #MagnaFirsties yesterday. It was the first time they met a 'real author'. I appreciate you so much and they were still buzzing about how excited they were today @D59Byrd #d59learns

Cannot wait to meet Nat the Cat and introduce him to my students! So excited for more stories from @Jarrett_Lerner that are accessible to young readers! Run to pre-order this one! I sure did! Fun fact: Did you know that pre-orders are really important to authors and illustrators?

Loved seeing some of our @D59Byrd students have a chance to laugh and get silly on this Pi(e) Day as a reward for showing responsible behaviors the last couple of weeks. Very grateful for all of our awesome staff that volunteered to get messy!

Today is a day spent with librarians and primary teachers across IL discussing and choosing the IL Monarch Award winners for 2023. Love spending time choosing high interest kid books with like minded #kidlit fans!
