We LOVED Meeting Alex Gino And Learning About Why Writing Diverse Books Is So Important! @lxgino @resvt @Scholastic #Read #George

We had the honor of meeting author Alex Gino this week!  They told us about the thought & hard work that goes into writing a book; it took them twelve years to write George/Melissa's Story!  They also talked about the importance of creating mirrors for children, that every child should be able to find characters like them in the books they read.  Our fourth graders did such an incredible job of asking thoughtful questions.  We felt so lucky to spend the afternoon with a favorite author! Alex was truly inspiring!!!

NEW & IMPROVED VIDEO! Visiting Our First Grade Friends For Math & A LIttle Lesson In American Sign Language! @Hackettb @resvt @Inv3_Math #ASL #Community

We asked Mrs. Hackett if we could come measure her students.  We know that they use American Sign Language in their classroom also, so we asked if they could teach us how to count to 20 in ASL! We had so much fun spending our math class with these incredible first graders!  We learned so much!
