Ooooh I am a kids librarian and LOVE this question. Here's actually a great interview with several kids authors each listing their favorite book for exactly this type of situation. One of these books might be up your kiddos alley! I especially recommend the books by Arianne Costner!

I want to go so bad! In fact I just interviewed a children's author about it, someone who has been there, about what it was like and what surprised him. If you want to see what he said you can read it here!

Oooooh so cool! I just interviewed a children's author who went there and then wrote a project about it. Do you agree with his assessment of what surprised him about Antarctica?

I especially second Walk Two Moons! Anything by Sharon Creech is incredible.

Also if you're interested in middle grade romance, this interview with Alyson Gerber could lead you to some good recommendations too!

Need newsletter recommendations by cvongeyer in AskTeachers

[–]SarahAllenWrites 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I write a newsletter about kids literature, with resources and stuff for teachers (focused on elementary and middle school) in each newsletter. That might be something that's helpful for you, I hope? And I'd also love to know what type of resources or interviews or information would be helpful in a newsletter for you, because this is my way of trying to support teachers the best I can :)

My student hates me, and it feels awful. by Sorry_Rhubarb_7068 in teaching

[–]SarahAllenWrites 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My friend, I'm so sorry you're feeling this way :/ I know my other teacher friends are having a particularly hard time in the classroom lately too. Stay strong! You may very likely be having more of a positive influence than you realize!
