March 25th, 2017 | Posted by in Babies, Toddlers and Preschoolers | 2016-2017 | Primary (Grades K-2) | Intermediate (Grades 3-5) | Middle School | High School | AprilRefugee, immigrants, migrants: these have become every day terms in recent months, as major news stories, in political arenas, and across social media. How do we talk to children and teens about the immigrant and refugee experience? Fortuitously and incidentally, many of the Read On Wisconsin April 2017 titles, chosen last May, explore lives caught between cultures and countries. This might be the perfect time to share these titles with children, teens, parents, other teachers and librarians and school and public administration.
