Father's Day is such an important holiday that unfortunately does not always get celebrated in the classroom (my school year ends at the end of May). Every year, I try to be organized enough to get crafts done and read some wonderful books featuring dad and grandpa relationships, but it doesn't always happen. I'm trying to get better about organizing my books by theme, so are ten of my favorite books all about special dads and grandpas:Jabari Jumps by Gaia CornwallLubna ...

April 9th is National Unicorn Day. Who knew?! But random days like this are just so fun in kindergarten, so I'm here for it.
