Thanks to @AblerAmanda for answering all our questions about what inspired her to become a writer, how she does research for her non-fiction books, and what genres of books she likes to read. We had a blast learning from you today! πŸ’₯

I’m so proud of my 4th graders for their independent reading this year! β€οΈπŸ“š They all read at least 20 books in different genres of their choice. Thank you to @donalynbooks for always inspiring ME, which helps me inspire my students! Can’t wait to read your next book! #WTandMe

Thank you @DustiBowling for creating a main character like Aven! 🌡 My 4th graders clapped at the end of the FIRST chapter during read aloud and shouted, β€œWe love Aven!” We are hooked and can’t wait to read more! πŸ“– #WTShines #READALOUDIN93

When your whole class begs you to read another chapter and agrees to stay 10 minutes past the school day on Zoom, how can you say no?! I can feel the love of reading happening today! ❀️ #READALOUDIN93 #WTShines
