@msyingling.bsky.social is right! Cold days are a great time to curl up with a foodie book. Make hot chocolate like the Aztecs. #funfoodfacts #mgbooks #mgnonfiction
#OOTD #LibraryFashion Lots of layers, as it's 6 degrees out. Always a good day for cozy cooking adventures, or @kimzachman.bsky.social THERE'S NO HAM IN HAMBURGER. (Backwards because someone needed tech help!) @debbimichiko.bsky.social

It's leaf season and 5 stars to this wonderful leaf collecting tool! Inexpensive. Runs on 100% renewable energy, and no ear protection needed. So quiet, you can hear the leaves falling into the area you just cleared. #fallworkout.

Occasionally I'll encounter someone who thinks that reading graphic novels, magazines, series fiction, comics, books below your reading level, or listening to audio books doesn't count as "REAL" readi...

If @mstewartscience.bsky.social posts something, you should pay attention. She is the epitome of #kidslovenonfiction
So glad I stumbled upon this new resource! Excuse me while I add these ideas to my plan to boost nonfiction circulation in our school library.
I'm excited to share this new library of resources for teaching nonfiction reading and writing.
