<div dir="ltr">We ventured away from Dr. Seuss last year, not because of his work, but mostly because we do a whole theme week centered around RAA week, and the teachers were a little tired of years and years of Seuss. Last year we did a Mo Willems week, and this year we are either going to focus on poetry or biographies. We have dress-up days, door decorating, and trivia contests. <div><br></div><div>Tonya Tjarks</div><div>Library Media Specialist</div><div>Apollo School</div><div><a href="mailto:ttjarks@emsd63.org">ttjarks@emsd63.org</a></div><div><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Feb 1, 2018 at 11:20 AM, Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:islma@list.railslibraries.info" target="_blank">islma@list.railslibraries.info</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div>One of my college professors back in the 1980's pointed out that "And to think that I saw it on Mulberry Street" was sexist ("even Jane could think of that").
