Welcome to Litsy!

Flora and the Flamingo by Molly Idle is a RF picture book like no other. For starters, it tells an incredible story of an unlikely friendship with no words. This Caldecott winning book will make your students appreciate the diversity in literary works, a must have in your elementary classroom library. An “IR” assignment with this book will be amazing to see what students think of the book when discussing it as a group later on. #UCFLAE3414F19

How on earth I am actually able to study with the random things in my brain that distract me is a miracle. 🧠 📚 🎶

Studying is sexy. 🧠

Review: Pink Is for Boys by Robb Pearlman, 2018, is a beautiful picturebook all about colors. Specifically it's about how colors don't have a gender, and that they are for everyone, even pink!
Blurb: This book is a simple story made for a younger crowd, but that tells a powerful message nonetheless. Teaching children that certain colors aren't for certain people is important.
Quote: “And all the colors are for EVERYONE. Girls and boys.“

I would use this book in my classroom if I saw a child making fun of someone wearing a “boy“ or “girl“ color. I would also use this book in my classroom to help teach colors and ASL color words.
