I was halfway through October before realizing I never blogged for September so I decided to combine the two. We have had several first days of school this year and welcome back students almost daily so it has all just become a blur. I am loving having readers back in the library as our year starts to feel a little more normal, if possible.
We celebrated Dot Day for several weeks in PLC time. Here are some first graders coloring their 3D Quaver Dots. They loved seeing them come to life!
Fourth graders created amazing 3D dots as well.
The Tweet Fairy has been busy since our staff has been sharing all the wonderful things going on in their classrooms and around the school.
Our students rocked myON during September and I cannot wait to check the October report.
This year, students are trying to earn levels by reading minutes in myON...we will see who becomes a Jedi Master!
My best buddy at work flew the nest as she works towards her future. I will miss our prek aide Ms. Aquilera so much!
With so many things we cannot do this year, I was excited that we can continue the Braum's Book Buddy program.
I finally got around to cataloging some of the books I got in Louisville at the AASL Conference. They had been at home in a bag while school was all virtual.
I participated in our district's #GISDChat Big Share event and curated the tweets into a Wakelet for the staff. I also attended several Canvas trainings and an i3 kickoff. It has been a techy year so far, but all great for our students and the opportunities they have!
The library is decked out for fall and we displayed many of our Halloween and horror books.
One of the best days of the year occurred when our big book delivery happened. We had 10 boxes of awesome new books to enjoy!
I unpacked the boxes and sorted them so I could get them on the shelves as soon as possible.
I was so happy to get this grant from the Garland Education Foundation so that we can do a story walk that will benefit our face to face and virtual learners who live nearby. It will be a socially distanced way to enjoy a great story!
We had dress up days for Bullying Prevention Week and I used PLC time this month to discuss being nice to each other despite our differences.
A sweet, random surprise from a coworker always brightens a day!
This series on myON made our Live storytimes even more spooky!
I read this one pretty quickly...keeps you on the edge of your seat!
I loved being able to connect with students during these storytimes!
Red Ribbon Week brought dress up days and a pumpkin decorating contest. It was so fun to create the voting form and see the results!
Our new library aide Ms. Plote started this week and we are so excited to have her!
Even though the weather thinks it is January...November is on the way and always goes so quickly!
