ALSO BEFORE YOU POST…
J. K. Rowling has written a new book for children: The Ickabog!
In light of the pandemic, she will be releasing a few chapters per week on https://www.theickabog.com/home/. 
She is hosting a contest for students to illustrate the book! All of the details are on her website. https://www.theickabog.com/competition/
Take reading beyond the book! Make connections and have fun! For more reader-maker challenges, look under “reading resources” on the École Westridge Menu. There is a section in French as well!
Try this activity:
Listen to the book “Creepy Carrots” read by its author Aaron Reynolds.
