Today is International Read to Me today! A book in hand and children hearing the way it sounds to read aloud are so imporant in developing literacy skills and a love for reading with children.

Yesterday we had a visit from Carole Boston Weatherford and Jeffery Boston Weatherford. They shared their process on working as an author/illustrator team, and talked about their book Kin. What a wonderful way to celebrate Black History Month!

We got a book returned with a squished Cheeto in the middle. "Cheetos don't make great bookmarks, use a real bookmark next time." "My friend was eating Cheetos near my book!" This child shall now be called Cheeto. Forever.

“I stayed up for five hours last night to finish this!“ Yellowjackets are a big fan of The Naturals series, especially the 8th grader who returned this with such enthusiasm this morning.

Not every book is for every reader- and that's ok! A student told me in the funniest way today a book was not for them. "Ms.Rosegrant, I'm pulling the plug, I took out my bookmark, I'm done!"
