By Rachel

Let’s teach across the curriculum with picture books. Teaching with picture books is a classroom passion of mine, and I find many other teachers share a similar passion.

Here is how you can use picture books as a read-aloud for a back-to-school activity with a craft.

I am a former journalist who changed careers and became an elementary teacher. I have spent the last four years substituting.
