Book fair is in the media center this week, so I've gone to classrooms for lessons. Our K classes listened to LA PRINCESA AND THE PEA & compared it to the version their teacher read, then used paper strips to make their own mattress stacked beds, complete with a pea underneath. #TLSky #SchoolLibrary
