I actually had a couple of students a few days ago tell another that they were playing wrong.

These books have also allowed us to explore new genres and perspectives, encouraging students to think critically about the world around them.\r\n\r\nIn our library, reading is an active, joyful, and collaborative process. Students read independently, in small groups, and with partners, often pausing to discuss predictions, share favorite passages, or ask questions that spark lively conversations. We also use reading journals and creative activities to help students connect personally with the stories and apply what they're learning.\r\n\r\nSeveral students have been especially inspired by the new books.
