I LOVE snow and I LOVE Amos McGee. The box I found on my desk today made my day. This hat is perfection!!! And I read the ARC of a Snow Day for Amos McGee and will not stop smiling any time soon! @MacKidsBooks

Highlight of my day was introducing a teacher to the amazing stories of @reneewauthor and having a student that idolizes her rush over to explain why she's so wonderful.

Students love @kaaauthor & @choldenko's Dogtown and are so excited about Mouse & Dog! We wonder what these cute animals at A.D.O.P.T. would think about a robot dog in their midst! @MacKidsBooks

The first read aloud of the year is something I take very seriously. I can't wait to share @RuthSpiro's important book with students! It pairs perfectly with @lorenlong's The Yellow Bus which was our last read aloud last year.

I met with our new principal today and gave him these books by @MrSchuReads. I told him I thought they were books every administrator needed.

We love @lorenlong's newest book! This is a book that will warm your heart and will lead to so much thoughtful discussion. The students have so much to say about the use of color and the feelings they convey. Thank you for a treasure, @lorenlong! @MacKidsBooks
