Refresh Your Bookshelf

We’ll also share ideas about how our reading lives intersect with those of our students and how to engage our families with these terrific texts. You’re welcome to bring recommendations, questions, and ideas to enrich our reading in the new year! Contact Charlotte Dean for the link @ [email protected] ​
