It’s a great day at the AG Academy. The Library Center visited classes to promote Summer Reading. Plus, the newly hatched chicks stretched their legs in the yard 🐥 The only bummer is that checkouts are ending for the year #SPSlib

All seated and virtual classes for Wednesday, April 30, are canceled because nearly half of all schools are currently without power. State testing for Launch virtual students will continue as scheduled and district offices will remain open. Supervisors will contact employees by 6 a.m. Wednesday to provide work expectations for the day. Visit sps.org for more details.

Some days as a teacher, things go a bit upside down. Today was one of those days. But a day without power or internet is nothing significant when all your kids are safe 🥰

This morning @sps_wolf we had to switch up our rooms due to MAP testing. The students had no problem adapting to library class on the floor. I’m used to raccoons in my library, so I felt right at home too #iykyk #SPSlib

After 4 long days of MAP testing I decided my AG Academy students needed to spend some time outside. After all, when you are in @officialSPS Choice programs you can “library” anywhere ☀️📖💚 #SPSlib

Today my 4th graders were inspired by the book, Zonia’s Rain Forest, to create paperless #EarthDay art. Check out these examples of sand art and online sketches 🌎 #SPSlib

Happy #EarthDay, everyone! Today my 5th graders & I read @CaroleLindstrom’s beautiful book, We Are Water Protectors. Then, students repurposed single use plastic bags & unused photocopies to create original pieces of art. #SPSlib

Last session of #MASLsc was packed. Librarians love research, especially when it demonstrates over and over the positive impact of library programs and certificates librarians ❤️ #SPSlib

Look who I spotted in the Exhibit Hall at #MASLsc 👀 After our author visit in February, I basically feel like I’m best friends with Izzy B and Ben Askew. AND I got a copy of This Monkey Lost A Banana

Starting Day 2 of #MASLsc with a session on @MASLOnline’s Truman books. My 6th graders next year are going to love these titles #SPSlib

Yes, my “heart” almost “exploded” after finding these sweet notes from @MsJazlynBarnes’s students in my mailbox yesterday. What a way to celebrate National Library Week 🥰 #SPSlib
