It's Knowvember or Nonfiction November and, we've been encouraging students to read nonfiction. So, we took a break and had 2 4th grade classes get a sneak peek at our new Lego How to Books.
It's Knowvember or Nonfiction November and, we've been encouraging students to read nonfiction. A student read "Make Your Own Marshmallow Catapult" by Mari Bolte from Capstone publishing. They brought the catapult in to share their hardworking.
5th grade recently completed a reading genre personality quiz. We took time to dive in the catalog and searched for books to read. Students created a to read list for future library visits. Our students are more confident using the library catalog too!
I'm beyond grateful! My 100th project was funded from DonorsChoose.
DC has transformed my library. Thank you to everyone who has supported me and my students the past 4 years.
Big week for the library. 4th & 5th are having a previously recorded author visit from Lauren Tarshis courtesy of Mackin. I won a social media contest. I have copies of her newest book I Survived the Dust Bowl coming for my students.
Our students are too sweet. A student made bookmarks for our library. They brought 2 batches this week.
First grade is having an author visit from a previous recording we made with authors Mrs. and Mr. Macleod. We love the fun illustrations and creative storytelling.

A librarian never stops - I meet Booker today at a vendor fair. Booker brings our students books for summer reading for rising grades 1 - 3 courtesy of Governor's Early Literacy Foundation.
New nonfiction signs!! Here are the before and after pictures of the first 3 sections. Look at how tiny the shelf sign was, and it was hidden by books extending past the shelf.
I had so much fun shopping for my school library today at my local Barnes & Noble (Knoxville, TN). We picked out so many amazing books! TY to my local rep for your help and time.
Looks like some awesome reads- putting them on my wishlist for next school year
Stopped by the Children's Festival of Reading sponsored by Knox County Public Library and super excited Knox Education Foundation One Book Read City. I met Kevin Lewis and saw Heather Montgomery. It is open until 3pm.
2nd and 3rd grade is enjoying a Book Break about the book series Jo Jo Makoons by #DawnQuigley
We ❤️ #JoJoMakoons - after the visit, every book was checked out.
Thanks to Dollar General literacy grants my Bookworms having been inching to success. Here are just a few of the amazing books we purchased. My students ❤️ love these capstonepub Maker Books. I highly recommend adding them to your library.
It was a Battle for the ages. My 4th and 5th graders picked their favorite 😍 Team K for the win! #KwameAlexander #jerrycraft
We read excerpts from The Crossover and New Kid to select our winner.
#JerryCraft and #KwameAlexander doing my part. My students are so excited to read your new book. We've got it pre-ordered. Posting our school winner in a few days. @jerrycraft.bsky.social @iamkwame4life.bsky.social
Thank you for the share.
My 4th and 5th grade are currently having a J vs K showdown. Students are reading excerpts from both Jerry Craft and Kwame Alexander to vote for their favorite. It's a close race so far. After, 2 days of voting, Craft has a slight edge. Which do you prefer: author or illustrator?
I'm so excited. A sibling duo made bookmarks for our library over Spring Break.
K, 1, and 2 are celebrating Read Across America week by looking to our friends a bit North- a Canadian author-illustrator Melanie Watt. We are enjoying a virtual author visit through @bookbreak4schools Every single Watt book is now checked out.
Shipment 1 of 3! Yes, 14 boxes of new books. My school library is going to be on fire with book checkouts!! Rug and extra box are for us too! Woohoo!
Thank you @SimonBooks. My school won books by #JasonReynolds after attending a recent virtual author visit hosted by @MackinVIA. I will be sure each book finds a good home in our school district.
My 3rd grade students were so excited to have a live virtual visit from the amazing wordsmith Jason Reynolds. Thank you, Mackin, for making this happen. #JasonReynolds
