Just finished reading Same Page by @ellyswartzbooks.bsky.social to both my 4th & 5th grade AE classes. Big hit! So many thoughtful conversations about banning books. Began Dodger and Me by Jordan Sonnenblick w/4th & Busted by @dangemeinhart.bsky.social w/5th. Both classes--hooked! #EduSky #readaloud
