November was a shortened month due to Thanksgiving break, but is was still a fun and fast one.
Coding club wrapped up a little earlier than expected so that the graduate students could prepare for their semester exams. Students got to create whatever they wanted at our last meeting.
The students in coding club learned to make patterns like this.
Our Esperanza Rising novel study is continuing. The students did their third debate and are understanding what it means to defend their arguments with evidence.
The students made yarn dolls like Esperanza and Isabel do in the novel. I gave them total free reign over the project and it turned out great. The students said that project made them love school.
Leveled questions about our novel were written and answered by the students.
November is family engagement month so I invited kindergarten and first grade parents to join their child for library class. The kids and parents loved it! This will definitely be a future tradition.
Teachers and staff members were invited to preview our new books before they hit the shelves.
Our school had a glow walk and healthy night. The students and their families had a great time being active together.
Our staff had a Thanksgiving feast.
Specials' team also hosted a turkey trot!
I participated in three Twitter chats for our district so I earned my degree.
I was honored to be named Professional Staff Member of the Month! It is such a blessing to work here and be a librarian.
Just a preview of what to expect in December. We are doing a storybook gingerbread character contest. The entries have been rolling in like crazy!
