Appy Holidays

This year, one of the goals for our district has been to get teachers to increase their use of technology in the classroom. I blogged earlier in the year about our fun during October with the Trick or Treat Twitter challenge.

For November, the teachers participated in a Thankful for Technology Bingo game that included many technology-related challenges. Shout out to our magnificent music teacher Mrs. Nelson on completing her Bingo card and winning a pair of new ear buds! Check out her winning card below.

For December, I have created an appy holidays display of QR codes that lead to free apps for teachers to download. The apps are comprised of time savers, note-taking, and creativity for the students to use in the classroom. The teachers will be able to stop by at their leisure to download the apps they want.

We have also been busy decorating the library for Christmas. There is holiday music playing and seasonal books everywhere!

Lots of cool holiday books on the recommendation table!

Holiday books and festive bells adorn the end of each aisle.

The Grinch in normally stuck hanging out with the other Dr. Seuss buddies but during the holidays he gets a prime spot in the library!

We even have an elf on the shelf in our library! Can you spot him?

Stop by your local library and enjoy a holiday story. There are so many fun ones. Currently, we are reading Clark the Shark Loves Christmas and Bad Kitty Christmas.
