BAR HARBOR—Before the quiet began, a Conners Emerson staff member and student walked down the lower hallway of the Conners building. The staff member walked in a straight line while the student zigzagged behind her. “Are you trying not to step on any colors?” she asked.
Carrie - a big thanks for covering the Conners Emerson quiet time.
Sounds like principal Heather Webster has kept her team focused on education. Wonderful news. I bet Conners Emerson isn't hemorrhaging kids and parents as are the social engineering school districts in the Seattle area, for instance, where public schools have lost thousands, and, as a result, big chunks of budget.
Reading should be a family activity. When Shel Silverstein and Dr. Seuss are on the bed time tuck-in team, toddlers will soon enough build their own action and sound gardens from the squiggly ink of the alphabet.
Note to bibliophile bargain hunters: Value Village, Goodwill, Half Price Books - they're all overflowing with markdowns. Ebay, too. E-books and TikTok have cleared out a lot of home bookshelves. We haunt the thrift markets, use Clorox wipes and call it new. Schools facing budget cuts might enlist parent volunteers, arm them with title-wanted lists and tubs of sanitizer. One of my super energetic daughters-in-law repurposes urban book discards for remote villages in Alaska.
Loved this idea!!!
