You’ve read
Goodnight Moon approximately 4,289 times. You’re not crazy about
The Giving Tree’s underlying message. And enough is enough: You wish that damn caterpillar would finally feel full already. If you’re stuck in a reading rut with your little kids (or if your big kids are stuck in a rut of their own), I’ve compiled a fresh reading list for you to tackle this year, built with the help of the parents in our Facebook community and with the goal of, hopefully, taking you beyond the titles you already have on your bookshelf.

BROWN DEER, Wis. Being an educator for K-5 students in the midst of a pandemic comes with many challenges that require patience and the ability to adapt quickly.
Northern Michigan University alumna Suzanna Schroeder, the library media specialist for Brown Deer Elementary School in Wisconsin, seems to have adapted well to the COVID-19 crisis.
Schroeder, who graduated with a bachelor of science degree in 1995 and a master of arts degree in 1999, has been coming up with new initiatives to keep her students informed and engaged.
VICTORIA The Greater Victoria Public Library (GVPL) has released several top 10 lists for the most popular books that were borrowed from the library system this year. The top 10 lists cover four categories: adult fiction, adult non-fiction, children’s and teens books. While the GVPL closed its branches near the beginning of the pandemic, many have reopened. During this time, the library system says that circulation of its digital items skyrocketed by more than 92 per cent during the first wave of COVID-19 as people remained at home. The GVPL says that digital consumption of books led to renewed popularity for some titles because they were easily accessible online.
Students at Oakland Elementary School will each receive two books to read with their family, thanks to a $1,000 grant second grade teacher Jenny Edgington received for the social and emotional reading program.
âThis reading program will hopefully bridge school and home by extending books that promote (social and emotional learning) that can be read with family,â Edgington said. âThrough this reading program, teachers will introduce their grade-level books in the classroom, or virtual classroom, and discuss social and emotional topics, such as being aware of otherâs feelings, social distancing, displaying self-control, talking about worries and anxieties, how to cope with them and having a positive self-image.â
