Day 2 of summer break: the Summer Reading List is well underway and by that I mean I started #Yellowface by @kuangrf *this morning* and have moved zero inches from the couch since then because I could not put it down 💛 what a story.
3) Been (impatiently) waiting to sit down with Fiona and Jane by @jeanho since it arrived about a month ago & hooooly am I glad I waited for a wide open afternoon (read: am now on summer break) & bumped this one to the top of the TBR list 💕
4) and because it’s summer & I grew up on the lake, I had absolutely no choice but to pick up (and fly through) Every Summer After & Meet Me at the Lake by @CarleyFortune 💜💖💙
What a beautiful day to investigate our local watershed 🍂☀️
This morning the students in 8-1 captured their observations using photographs & diagrams in preparation for building their watershed models next week!
We love a collaborative math challenge! 💜
Today, these awesome 8s worked with their groups (& then joined ANOTHER group) to solve a sneaky sums problem. 10/10 for perseverance & cooperation ☺️
Happy #FirstChapterFriday to the incredible @tracichee & @tracichee only, who - a week and a half later - still has me thinking about this absolute banger of a novel #WeAreNotFree
(Had to order a few more copies because my grade 8s COULD NOT WAIT to read it) 🖤
You don’t get to pick & choose which refugees seeking asylum deserve protection & a safe place to live because making the decision to save lives shouldn’t be up for debate. It is not political but simply the humane & morally correct thing to do
He’s back!
This afternoon, our in-house-student-reader-extraordinaire shared his choice for this week’s #FirstChapterFriday read, #AThousandPerfectNotes by @PaperFury ❤️🤍
What an incredible story & fantastic reader!
Me to me: I’m going to get all of my reports done this weekend.
Also me: *starts reading & doesn’t stop til I’ve finished the book because 🥰*
@kacencallender holy crap THANK YOU for this brilliant story; I’m beyond excited to share it w/ my class tmw! #FelixEverAfter ❤️🧡💛
A few weeks late but worth the wait…
The last two #FirstChapterFridays we’ve BEYOND enjoyed stories from two phenomenal authors: #Legendborn by @tracydeonn & #WeAreNotFromHere by @jetchez.
All I can say about both is WHEW; these ones IMMEDIATELY flew off our bookshelf 💜💙❤️
