In my March post for SchoolLibraryJournal, I consider resources and activities that help transition students from reading at school to summer reading. If your students or children are spending time at home due to school closures, these tips are useful, too! slj.com/?detailStory=l… -

So so many STEM idea for families...

After we studied Amanda Gorman’s “The Hill We Climb,” this CCSD 89 Glen Crest MS student took the call to action by writing her truth! She chose a pen name to do so. I am so proud of her courage, and, it is with the permission of her parents and her, that I am tweeting this.

D&D club members embarking on a new exciting and campaign, having a great time and helping each other come up with creative responses to the challenges!
