Top Ten(ish) Tuesday: TMC Easy #2

The #2 most checked out picture book from TMC Easy last year was... We Are Water Protectors by Carole Lindstrom! This book has come up on both the lists (for the TMC in general AND TMC Easy), and it's been popular since it arrived... and with good reason! It's definitely worth sharing in the classroom, for its themes, as well as its award-winning illustrations. There are a lot of great ideas out there for lessons you can teach from it.

There are certain songs, and books, and films that are like points of high ground in the memory. Like they are even larger than your own experiences. They never go away.

I never understand why we remember certain moments from our childhood so clearly and specifically, moments that weren't even important to remember. Like why would my brain decide to remember what a class mate said about the sky on a random tuesday, or how my mom's hair looked one morning in 2013????

What's Here Wednesday: Hidden History: Native Boarding Schools

The truth about what occurred in Indian Boarding Schools is an especially devastating example of history that isn't always told in schools. Intended to supposedly integrate Native American children into "society", the result of these schools was to instead annihilate their culture and sense of identity. There are fortunately many resources out there to explore this topic.

Many informative books have also been published about these residential schools, in a variety of formats, from nonfiction YA books to picture books. A few are pictured, and even more are available in the TMC:

Sweetgrass Basket by Marlene Carvell

I am not a Number by Kathy Kacer

"Fall in line, Holden!" by Daniel W. Vandever

Undefeated by Steve Sheinkin

Children of the Indian Boarding Schools by Holly Littlefield

Indian School: Teaching the White Man's Way by Michael Cooper
