Class Pass!!
Class Pass is a partnership between the Fulton Public Library and the Atlanta Public Schools District. Students and educators are able to check out books from the public library without a physical library card. The only information your students will need is their network login and their four digit birthdate (MM/DD). Educators will need their Lawson number and the PIN: CHANGEME. Their is no charge or fees for books returned late, however, if a book is lost, it is requested that the student completes a writing assignment. Class Pass is an excellent resource to move us further in the Race2Read challenge. Students will now have access to thousands of books to choose from to help them accumulate minutes in reading. I will be providing more information to students as they come into the Media Center.
SEL Book of the Month
Each Kindness; Written by Jacqueline Woodson, Illustrated by E.B. Lewis
A new girl comes to school and tries to make friends. When Chloe, the narrator, is unkind, the girl keeps trying. And then the girl is gone and Chloe is left only with the memory of her unkindness.
Author's note:
At some point in our lives, we are all unkind. At some point, we are all treated unkindly. I wanted to understand this more. I think too often we believe we’ll have a second chance at kindness – and sometimes we don’t. I do believe, as Chloe’s teacher, Ms. Albert, says, that everything we do goes out, like a ripple into the world. I wrote this because I believe in kindness.
Please visit the Media Center to check out Each Kindness.
