I’ll also be working on #MockCaldecott with my younger sts. I always turn to this list to help select my contenders and am so grateful to @MrSchuReads @colbysharp and @MrBSammons for this awesome resource.

I’m trying a #SibertSmackdown again this year with my 4th and 5th graders. We started with the 5 kinds of nonfiction and will jump into our 1st Sibert contender after Thanksgiving. TY @mstewartscience for all you do!

@mstewartscience I started exploring the 5 kinds this week with my 4th and 5th graders to get them ready for our Mock Sibert. They’ve loved looking through the NF and several made requests that I buy books I had borrowed from the public library. Thank you for all the resources you provide!

Teachers! Librarians! Parents! As this anchor chart shows, nonfiction is evolving and expanding in incredible ways. And kids love the vast array of nonfiction books available today. Let's fuel their passion! tinyurl.com/4pesn2az

. @angkunkel I just read Make Way: The Story of Robert McCloskey, Nancy Schön, and Some Very Famous Ducklings! I wish I could have written about it in The Gift of Story. It's perfect for story as inspiration! I look forward to sharing it during upcoming presentations.

@LaurelSnyder If you’re open to SC, @YALLFest is pretty awesome. It’s been a few years, but when I attended there were always at least a few great MG authors.

Wow, @mstewartscience, you have outdone yourself. This book is AWESOME and I can’t wait to share with my kiddos.

I have a soft spot for @lindsayncurrie ever since she did a fabulous visit with my Ss a few years ago…but her books are really creepy 🙀. 🤣
