February has been a busy month! Check out the fun we have had this month.
Our school hosted the Perot Museum staff for our annual science night on February 1st. I was able to work at the concessions table with two of our awesome staff members this year.
This year, I spread our budget money out and have been buying books throughout the year. It makes it even more fun because we get deliveries of new books more than just once and I get to accommodate teacher request!
We needed new microphones and mic cables for our school so I wrote a donorschoose.org grant. We were blessed with great new materials to use.
Our fabulous counselor let us celebrate kindness week during Valentine's day time. We had a dress up theme each day and heard kindness quotes from literature. This picture is from twin day where I met up with my partner...even though she is a Hufflepuff. #ravenclaws
On February 19th, we had our second library professional development day of the year. We spent the morning working in groups to discuss our new standards and our job descriptions.
We have started doing book projects this year because of Mrs. Duke at Carvery Elementary so I knew she needed to present her amazing ideas during our development day. She rocked her presentation!
I facilitated a session about different ways to use some technology in our libraries. Special shoutout to @digitallearning for stepping in to help so I would not be presenting alone.
Mrs. Duke's presentation was inspiring...and led to me deciding to remove all the old AR labels from our books. It will be a long, messy process but so worth reminding our students that they are more than just labels.
For our decor this month, I did an interactive Would You Rather bulletin board for #loveyourlibrary month.
We also celebrated Black History Month with quotes and biographies.
Mrs. Valdez' 5th graders created wonderful book projects and I was able to award many diplomas this month. I cannot wait to see what they come up with next!
This one looked so real it scared me and my tutoring group!
This one had a whole scene where a shark was eating a person...complete with fake blood!
March will be another busy, but fun month as we have our Read Across America celebration next week along with our spring book fair. The theme for both is Paws to Read and it has been raining a lot here lately so I chose this special Bitmoji. See you in March!
