Gifted & Talented 5th Grade Students get to know each other and play the Stock Market Game

📚Our library was proud to host local author, Razan Abdin! Ms. Abdin read her debut picture book, "Splendidly Sawsan," to one of our Kindergarten classes. The students have been studying about parts of a book, authors and illustrators, so this was an incredible way to complement their learning. They had insightful questions about Sawsan's story and the thoughtful strategies she forms to help her make good choices in the classroom.
🩷A huge thanks to the CALS Writers in the Schools initiative and Six Bridges Book Festival for making this amazing event possible AND for donating enough copies of Ms. Abdin's beautiful book for all of our K-2 classes to have a copy!
