Yesterday I let each class choose the book I read for #FirstChapterFriday. My last class clapped when I finished the first chapter of Ghost and that is how I feel whenever I read @JasonReynolds83 ❤️😭👏🏼👏🏼

DreamWorks has officially confirmed that The Wild Robot will be getting a sequel and Chris Sanders will return to direct. I was really hoping DreamWorks would announce this and adapt the rest of the books into films and this makes me so happy. Cannot wait!!

The Mistakes that Made Us: Confessions from 20 Poets @Irene_Latham @waterscharles is full of delightful poems (a range of formats!) about situations where the poet made a mistake in a situation. Engaging, enriching. #BookAllies
