Great way to kick-start the school year & I feel SO lucky to share ideas & do PD Sessions with @ChrisLowman19
Loved having the opportunity to share our Makerspace Make&Take ideas at #DTALcon yesterday with @JuleeDonnell! Engaging, curriculum-connected and kids walk away with a souvenir of their learning. Our @vbschools friends are jumping on board! @vblms @JennClementsVB @cwhinsch

The SPCA has a program called Listening Ears where pets are brought to the library each week for students to read to them. It is the cutest thing ever! @vbspca

I did not know that Google turned 25 years old until I saw that #thebookwrangler made this cool resource. What a fun way to get students to read a different variety of books.

I love @BookCreatorApp This is the 1st time that I have used the collaboration feature! 5th graders did research on a Civil War famous person independently & then partnered up for the presentation platform. They had fun working together creating & sharing their information

The rubber band bracelets have been a hit in Makerspace this month. They have learned how to use their fingers as the loom. This table is PACKED all day everyday!

2 VERY busy stations at Makerspace this month - cups & Shrinky Dinks. It makes me so happy that things that I enjoyed when I was little are still considered super fun.

When I saw these little hats & stickers at Dollar Tree, I immediately thought of the book Grimelda the Very Messy Witch. PreK crafted while working their little fine motor skills.

3 very exciting days for a school librarian: 1) having the book fair delivered; 2) excitement from the kids about the book fair; 3) having the book fair packed back up & getting the library back. It’s exhausting, but wouldn’t change a thing!

I love Spirit Week & I didn’t get a single picture until yesterday. ā€œTeam up & be kind onlineā€ for Digital Citizenship Week. I snapped a few with my fellow Dolphins fans.

4th Grade Breakout Box fun. They always begin with locating books in Destiny Discover to find hidden clues inside.

PreK read If you Ever Meet a Skeleton and then made themselves into skeletons. They did SO good with the glue and remembered, ā€œjust a dot not a lotā€.

They had SO much fun & did SO great with @Pixton
Students had a blast working on their Pixton comic strips explaining 3 of the Bill of Rights Amendments! A huge shout out to @JuleeDonnell for facilitating the lesson! @WhiteOaksDragon
