Our K students have been reading fiction and nonfiction books about weather. Sunny weather is a favorite, but windy, snowy, and rainy weather have fans too (especially if there’s a rainbow involved!). MacArthur School @MissBarresi MacArthur Kindergarten Kindness

Rest in peace, Jerry Pinkney. 😢 We just added his lovely version of The Little Mermaid to our library. Ms.U npr.org/2021/10/20/104…
