So fun to have the Grinch visit our school today! Look! He even found his favourite book in the library! #GrinchDay #favouritebook #loveourlibrary

I am excited to hear conversations around what genres, authors and formats staff read, as the students try to figure out which selfie matches each shelfie Merritt Central Elementary

Our Shelfie Selfies revealed! These promoted such great conversations around what folks are reading. This was a great way for our students to see us as readers too. School District 58 #welovereading #welovebooks

A bunch of Mo Willems "characters" at our school on #WorldReadAloudDay2024 The Pigeon

Friends are more fun than toys! #PiggieandElephant #WorldReadAloudDay #WorldReadAloudDay2024

Happy #WorldReadAloudDay! It was great to join @sharigreen and hear about her newest book Game Face and how her 'story seeds' germinate.

Love that our admins had a theme for #WorldReadAloudDay2024! Natasha Omori read The Good Egg to our entire school and had them captivated. She's a Verrrrry Good Egg! Jory John Pete Oswald

We were about $6,999,999 short on funding for a Super Bowl ad with this same message, but maybe if everyone shares it, we will reach the same number of people?

Whew! Just finished this. Tomorrow's going to be a fun day as I announce that the 9th book in our 2024 Battle of the Books is Kazu Kibuishi's Waverider & that we have 5 copies available for our 5 intermediate classes to sign out (my 6th copy is hopefully in the mail). #Amulet

Spoiler alert Amulet fans! Love these two quotes from the end of Kazu Kibuishi's Waverider. Great themes of teamwork, family, staying centered and not allowing fear to guide your decision making. A fabulous finale! #Amulet #Waverider

It was such a great reading weekend. Jennifer Nielsen this is my favourite yet! I can't wait to booktalk it & then discuss it with the students as they read it. I know quite a few who will just love it. #BookRecommendations

What a fun story to read for #valentines week. A great book for practicing our inference skills. #Lovemylibrary

So very lucky to begin last week Merritt Central Elementary with an author visit from Lee Edward Födi ! From Rooster-Dragons to writing acceptance letters for a magical school they created our students had their imaginations fired up! Best question I got: When is he coming back? School District 58

The 2024 School District 58 #BattleoftheBooks is happening right now!

So great to hear the cheers at Battle of the Books today when Aaron Cleaveley announced that Jennifer Nielsen will be returning to School District 58 in the fall! We look forward to her visiting our schools.

Looking forward to seeing this book on the shelves! Enjoyed working with Brandon Sanderson, his team, and the team at MacKids Books. Thank you to my agent Judy Hansen for encouraging me to try a picture book!
