Parent Information for Reading and Writing, Spring 2021
Spring Has Sprung!
If you're feeling stuck on the best way to go about this, please take the time to watch some (or all!) of this collection of videos from the experts at the Teachers College Reading and Writing Project. As always, do not hesitate to reach out to your child's teacher with any questions you have about how to best support your child at home. We're so grateful for our partnership with parents, this year more than ever!

Representation Matters!
Our students need to see themselves in the books that they read, as well as characters that come from different backgrounds. We call these books "windows and mirrors" - that are either a window into someone else's experience or a mirror, reflecting your own experience back to you. Both are critical for our students' understanding of perspective.
Please take a look at this collection of BIPOC Authors and Illustrators of Children's Nonfiction and this collection of Chinese-American Children's Authors to provide opportunities for books to serve as either windows or mirrors for your child.
