A great read aloud for a junior classroom! 📚👍🏻 #cankidlit #kidlit #edusky #ireadcanadian @orcabook.bsky.social30 Mar 2026 16:15 +0000at://did:plc:czbeffc77u66xrpt2owl7dqs/app.bsky.feed.post/3mic2oy5e622bhttps://bsky.app/profile/andreamack.bsky.social/post/3mhekllww6c2sThis early reader, Supervillains in Training: The Fantastic Freeze Ray, is so much fun! My grade 1 students will love it—lots of action, great illustrations and kid relatable problems. Great for a primary classroom! 👍🏻📚#kidlit #scholastic #edusky @kaileipewbooks.bsky.social18 Mar 2026 22:40 +0000at://did:plc:czbeffc77u66xrpt2owl7dqs/app.bsky.feed.post/3mhekllww6c2shttps://bsky.app/profile/andreamack.bsky.social/post/3mhbjktlhps2rIn a few cleverly rhymed words, GOTCHA DAY, written by @deborahkerbel.com, illustrated by @udayana-lugo.bsky.social and published by @orcabooks, tells the story of how a stray dog comes to find their owner. I love the way this book introduces new vocabulary! A fun read. #kidlit 📚👍🏻 #edusky17 Mar 2026 17:44 +0000at://did:plc:czbeffc77u66xrpt2owl7dqs/app.bsky.feed.post/3mhbjktlhps2rhttps://bsky.app/profile/andreamack.bsky.social/post/3mfwo36a4pk2yIt was fun to try some balanced or busy activities from the teacher guide for the #picturebook I'M BUSY with my Gr 1 students. We ended up discussing being mindful of how time is spent on devices. (The guide is on @debbieohi.com.) #edusky #SchoolLibrarians @marciecolleen.bsky.social28 Feb 2026 16:40 +0000at://did:plc:czbeffc77u66xrpt2owl7dqs/app.bsky.feed.post/3mfwo36a4pk2yhttps://bsky.app/profile/andreamack.bsky.social/post/3mfnhsss67q2sThanks @12x12challenge.bsky.social and @heidieys.bsky.social for the wonderful AMA session.

So excited for the launch of I’M BUSY, illustrated by my friend @debbieohi.com and written by @michaelianblack.bsky.social. A busy girl, a flamingo and a potato trying to cope with life stresses — so great for discussions about emotions! #kidlit #edusky https://debbieohi.com/book/book-im-busy/24 Feb 2026 12:22 +0000at://did:plc:czbeffc77u66xrpt2owl7dqs/app.bsky.feed.post/3mfm5ryd3nc2khttps://bsky.app/profile/andreamack.bsky.social/post/3mfhk7uxl4k2qI love how the questions in the application help writers think more deeply about their work and what they need to progress, even if they don’t end up applying.
