The TPT site-wide sale continues! I'm spotlighting resources for back-to-school in the library all day today and tomorrow. This one is for secondary librarians! It's a set of 7 Digital Bulletin Boards for Grades 7+. bit.ly/4dABoa7
It's started! The massive TPT site-wide sale is today and tomorrow! My entire store - including all my bundles - is on sale today and tomorrow. I have hundreds of standards-aligned, TIME-SAVING Library Storytimes and Lessons, all ready to go! bit.ly/3SFApgZ
Today's Shark Week book recommendation is for adult readers, but it also works for high schoolers. This is narrative nonfiction about sharks and shark conservation. Great for teens and adults interesting in marine biology and scuba diving! Shark is by Paul de Gelder. #sharkweek
Today's Shark Week book recommendation (number 5, if you are counting!) is a second title by Melissa Cristina Márquez. Earlier this week, I featured her newest title, Sea of Constellations, as another Shark Week picture book. Recommended for Grades K-3. #sharkweek
Today I've got Book 4 in my Shark Week recommendations for kids and teens! Julia and the Shark by Kiran Millwood Hargrave is an adventure story for Grades 4-8. #sharkweek #sharkreads #sharkbooks #twitterlibrarian #elementarylibrarian #middleschoollibrarian
Today I've got Book #3 in my Shark Week recommendations for kids and teens! Shark Summer by Ira Marcks is a realistic fiction graphic novel for Grades 5-8. #sharkweek #sharkbooks
These are fun! 21 songs to celebrate #sharkweek! Definitely better than Baby Shark. I would also add "Sharks" by Imagine Dragons, which came out after this list was published. ihr.fm/4cSzCRv
