You can see where this is going- it’s similar at school! Students have their teacher & each other within their classroom walls, but they also have an extended family there to support them ❤️ Specifically, all of the amazing people who are a big piece of the heart of a school: Librarians, speech pathologists, school counselors, administrators, custodians, school secretaries, reading specialists, cafeteria workers, and parent volunteers, just to name a few □ And you’ll find them all represented in this new book! □□ My hope for “Our School is a Family” is that it will help students feel extra safe, loved, & supported, and encourage kids to form positive relationships with (and show appreciation toward) the helpers at their school! I am so excited to share more about this book with you in the months to come!! □ P.S. ![]()
