What a great way for schools and families to partner together to lift up diverse perspectives in a fun and engaging way! Great idea Robert Brent Elementary School

Throughout March, Brent Bears will honor Read Across America by celebrating a nation of diverse readers, characters, and authors. We encourage families to participate at home by reading books that celebrate the diverse cultures and landscapes of our great nation. Pack your bags and take your family on a road trip across the nation by reading some of these picture books; each one is set in one of the fifty states and the nation’s capital. Meet John Lewis in Alabama, Raye Montague in Arkansas, and Fannie Lou Hamer in Mississippi; tour the Grand Canyon in Arizona, dig up dinosaurs in South Dakota, and chase horseshoe crabs in Delaware; stand up for women’s rights, animal rights, and workers’ rights; and explore segregation, conservation, and invention. We hope you enjoy sharing these rich, diverse American stories with your family. Download the complete list here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1yppocuRvJV31quF2fo8dOkBkw8OXZTpx/view
