This is the most amazing thing I’ve seen in 4.5 yrs in the Library.

A student read MISFITS @lisayee.bsky.social & then returned it with this note tucked inside.

Another student checked it out today, saw the note & was SO excited to read it!

Tried a new lesson w/4th grade for #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth & it was AWESOME!

We read about Chester Nez. Students decoded my messages & then created coded messages for classmates.

INCREDIBLY impressed with their efforts!

Book cover THE TROUBLE WITH HEROES shows a surly 7th grade boy with a backpack and FDNY baseball hat standing on top of a mountain, looking into the distance. A drooly Bernese Mountain Dog looks up at him adoringly.

Signed up on here a year ago but didn’t have the energy to learn about a new platform.

Giving it another go to see if I can find all the amazing #KidLit authors who ditched the other place.
