Happy MLK Jr. Day! I’ll be spending today as a day ON in service, not a day OFF. I’ll be serving in a high-needs classroom in Federal Way……. my own classroom. It might seem like a cop-out, but I’m doing what I can.
I gorged myself on Raina Telgemeier’s graphic novel adaptations of the Baby-Sitters Club books this week. Olive liked them too:
I also met Kadir Nelson and shared his new I Have a Dream book with my class.
He doesn’t look that thrilled to see me, but it’s OK.
Here are the other books I’ve been reading this week!
Have a good week, and an enjoyable day of service!
I keep meaning to pick up some Tamora Pierce. Maybe now that I’m doing the Feminist Reads Challenge… of course MANY of my reads fit that category, but I hear wonderful things about Tamora’s characters.
The books are great. I suppose my only frustration is that they seem too on top of their game. Like, I wish they were a squeak more flawed?
That was one thing I really like about Sophie in the Howl’s Moving Castle books.
