Attention teachers who need books!
We're giving away used books next weekāOctober 3 from 3-6pm at 265 Parkland Plaza!
Show up and pick some up!
Books include kids nonfiction, early and middle-grade chapter books, & graphic novels withdrawn from AADL's circulating collection.
Parents/teachers, want children to read? Let them read what they want. Even comics! Comic books avg 53.5 rare words per thousand, compared with 30.9 rare words per thousand in children's books, and 52.7 in adult books. Learning to read should be enjoyable!
At a recent talk, a parent asked what their kid should do this summer to make up for a year of academic disruption. My answer? Get outside. Play w/ friends. Hug grandparents. Read for fun. Ride a bike. If we don't let kids recalibrate, they may struggle to re-engage in learning.
10 Things we should model for students.
Saying thank you.
Not afraid to ask for help
Admitting you donāt know something
Respecting everyone
Showing gratitude
Appreciating others
Offering help to others
Intentional listening
Saying Iām sorry when wrong
Being kind
What else?
Tomorrow is the first official day of state-wide school closures -- What are you planning to do with your children? Do you have lesson plans lined up or do you have other arrangements?
Today I was asked what I hope my books do...
I hope they bring joy.
And help turn kids into lifelong readers.
And show them that books can be launchpads for their own creativity and inquiry.
And that their wildest, wonkiest ideas have value, and may even be their awesomest.
