It's November in the library, and for those taking an English and/or Literacy class, I hope you're well into your SSR books. It's American Indigenous Peoples' Heritage Month, and Mrs. Caneva has developed a presentation and a book talk to learn more about their heritage, the Truth about Thanksgiving, and Indigenous authors. November 11th is Veterans' Day, and we also have a great display that features nonfiction and fiction books about soldiers. And last but certainly not least, if you're 18 or over--don't forget to vote!!

November is American Indigenous Peoples' Heritage Month (also known as Native American Heritage Month). Teachers, ask Mrs. Caneva to pop in your classrooms to present about Indigenous authors and more resources about American Indigenous history. Here is a great link to learn more about American Indigenous Peoples' Month. I also penned an op-ed about the real truths of the European American and American Indigenous People. Read it if with this link if you are interested.

November 11th is a day that we set aside to honor our veterans that serve in the military. We have many amazing books about soldiers in the library. Check one out today!

We are keeping the process the same for students who attend school in-person and for those who attend school remotely.

#leydenpride, we'd love to hear from you on our blog--Leyden212writes! In the spring, we had a lot of writers post about their thoughts on the pandemic and wishes for a return to school. Now, we have a new set of questions for you to share your writing on. We can't wait to read what you have written! The link is below.

Hey teachers, how about a ready-made text set that fits your course? Did I mention that you won't need to take the time to find the resources? Contact me, and I'll pull together a mighty text set for you and your students.

Here are some examples:

Physical Science (Bonilla)

Food Chemistry (Bylinski)

Overpopulation (Wind)

Place Example (Baranjanco)

While we are in a remote setting, you can access the New York Times for free! Teachers, just click on this link below to enroll your students: https://www.nytimes.com/initiative/highschoolaccess
