Thank-you @LindsKAnderson for driving all the way over to see Narnia!
School librarians are magical.✨ They bring books to life! Check out how MNPS librarian Emmie Stuart recreated Narnia in the school library for their reading of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. @MNPSLibraries @PPE_Library @TASLTN #mnpslibhack instagram.com/reel/Ca_CTLJlB…

Books and children are the heart of the library. With memorable stories as their foundation, library lessons incoporate open art, creative explorations, and play-based learning. @MetroSchools @PPE_Library #EveryStudentKnown #EverySchoolKnown #EveryLibraryKnown

In this month's Tips for Teachers, @emmie_stuart reflects on books she uses to explore social emotional learning and bibliotherapy with her students. I will confess that I teared up editing this one. bookpage.com/features/25101-…
