LGBTQAI+

We will have LGBTQAI+ themed mad lib worksheets for students to be creative, have fun, and learn about the culture! This activity is more light-hearted and silly.

We will also have a display with a prompt for students to anonymously respond with their thoughts/feelings/ideas about gender identity. This is a collaborative writing piece for everyone to share in a deeper, thought-provoking activity.

We will also have a lot of poetry for students to just lay out and read if they wish! We strive to make this a safe space for all to come, relax, have fun, and just be who they are.

#BigBendCCBookChallenge September 2020: Mattias : A Gentleman in Moscow
09/04/2020

0 Comments


FROM: Mattias Olshausen
BOOK:  A Gentleman in Moscow
AUTHOR: Amor Towles

Cover of a book called A Gentleman in Russia

 

This book is about a Russian count, Alexander Rostov, whom a
Bolshevik court sentenced to permanent house arrest in 1922.
The catch is that Rostov is living in an upscale hotel near the Kremlin. He spends the next 30 years of his life there, witnessing a great societal change from a unique vantage point.

A Gentleman in Moscow is an excellent read for the times we live in. It serves as a reminder to make the most of one's circumstances,
rather than to live in bitterness or regret. Perhaps the most central
theme, though, is the value of unexpected and unlikely friendships.
Rostov's open and accepting nature is the greatest asset in his
confinement, as it leads him to establish close relationships
with the hotel's employees, an inquisitive nine-year-old guest,
and even a Soviet commissar. I recommend this book to
anyone who needs a break from the news and wants to believe in the best in humanity.

#BigBendCCBookChallengeBookTalk.

Month: March
From: Amanda Miller
Book Title: The Queen of the Tearling, by Erika Johansen

Book Cover of the Queen of Tearlings

"Kelsea Raleigh Glynn is 19 years old and uncrowned queen of the Tearling.
She is an orphan raised in isolation, a lover of books, and social justice.
Around her neck sits the royal jewel that marks her as the heir-apparent,
known as the Tearling Sapphire. On her 19th birthday, a group nine
armored knights arrive at her guardians' cottage to escort her to New
London and her throne. Once there, Kelsea must depose of her uncle,
the regent, and begin the process of bringing her kingdom
back from the brink of destruction. This formidable task takes on new
meaning for her when she realizes that the kingdom's enemies are both
within and without the borders.  kingdom's enemies are both within and
without the borders. Slave traders who have profited from the dubious
truce her mother agreed to and the Red Queen of Mortmesne, a
seemingly immortal sorceress. As Kelsea discovers the magic that lays
within her and the sapphire she wears she begins to question what events
in the past led them to this self-destructive road. She seeks answers
to the beginning of the Tearling history, the crossing from the old world
to the new one. And what went wrong with the founder's dream of a
"better world." I listened to the unabridged audiobook read by
Katherine Kellgren. This is an unforgettable tale, both written
and narrated, of destiny, magic, and the fight against malevolent
forces bent on dominating the world.

 

As the first book in this trilogy wrapped up questions remained... what is the
crossing? What were the original settlers running from?
What happened to the dream? "
