Hey Tomas,

Would you mind sending out this wonderful elementary school resource that my good friend Laura Van Slyke (a 1st grade teacher in San Leandro) created on the Mills education listserv. She put together this series of LGBTQ readalouds, read by a fun diversity of incredible people. 

Enjoy, they're adorable!

Stuart

Hello!

Next week is Kindness Spirit Week.

I've put together (in collaboration with the LGBTQ+ Alliance) 6 read alouds centered around gender, sexuality, and celebration. The books are read by queer folks in our community.

If you're looking for LGBTQ+ Seesaw books for next week, these are ready-to-go and easy to assign!
