I love this series from Hey, Kiddo by local author, Jarrett Krosoczka, of Lunch Lady and Star Wars: Jedi Academy fame. I can’t help but think about students who *need* reading and writing as outlets, too. Are we providing them opportunities to express themselves? How can we incorporate more open-ended tasks in our jam-packed, short school day? Lots to consider.
