Love how these teens @TheDublinHigh @DublinUSD used MANJHI MOVES A MOUNTAIN to guide and inspire 1st graders. #DublinHighMovesMountains @1City1BookDubCA @dannypopovici @CrestonBooks @LernerBooks @JrLibraryGuild #SouthAsiaBookAward #kidlit @News18Bihar #DashrathManjhi
Earlier today, a group of @TheDublinHigh students from Mr. Ruegg's AP Research class took a field trip to Ms. McLeod's 1st-grade class at @DES_Shark_Pride so they could work on projects related to the book, Manjhi Moves a Mountain.
Beth Mills and I are getting ready for #TXLA23! There will be handouts... promise! Come see us talk about #picturebooks and #mentortexts
