I shared one of my favorite Jon Klassen books this week, I Want My Hat Back. Students reimagined the hat & story and shared on a collaborative @padlet They did an AMAZING job, so fun! Also, shout out to @noveleffect.bsky.social for also having some great activities!

Going on a STEM egg hunt today! #library #mediacenter #skylibrarian

Thank you for everything, school librarians & library workers!

At a loss for words thinking of how you somehow find a way to continue doing your unnecessarily stressful jobs. I have to think your library kids are a big part of why.

Whatever the reason… thank you. We love you, we support you 💛

After a month of listening to books for our March Book Madness, Friday was the day of our finals! Students joined both virtually and in the media center to vote live. Magic Ramen in the lead throughout the month, but the ultimate winner was I Do Not Eat Children @marcuscutler.bsky.social! So fun!

Sixth grade students from Aux Sable MS brought their science projects over to share with our fifth grade students. So fun! #science

🌈👷‍♂️ Future engineers at work! 🚀 Who needs luck when you have science? 🍀💡 Our students built and tested rainbow bridges in this fun St. Patrick’s Day STEM challenge! Some were sturdy, some were wobbly, but all were creative! 🤩 #STEMChallenge #LibraryLearning #skylibrarian

Look at these future storytellers! Students are engaged, inspired, and learning from the amazing Kwame Alexander @iamkwame4life.bsky.social
& Mo Willems @mowillems.bsky.social

🌙✨ Last week, 2nd grade students explored the moon phases and Ramadan through beautiful picture books! With the help of our amazing 5th-grade students, they created hands-on moon phase models to see how the lunar cycle connects to the start of Ramadan. 🌑🌓🌕 #skylibrarian #edusky

📚✨ Caught in the Act… of Reading! 📖👀
During Read Across America Week, our students were spotted reading everywhere! Whether it was a graphic novel, a mystery, or a favorite picture book, they just couldn’t put them down! 🤩💙 #ReadAcrossAmerica #CaughtReading #skylibrarian

Yay! I’m so happy to hear this!!

Read Across America Week starts tomorrow! Remember to wear your favorite basketball, other team jersey, or t-shirt to help kick off our March Picture Book Madness! Families can listen to Monday's book, I Promise by LeBron James, by visiting our @padlet.com

All but one of my read aloud choices for library time with students over the next couple of weeks has a @Novel_Effect soundscape, woot! And more than half have activities, double woot! It would be extra cool if there was an option to create a playlist🫶🏻 maybe one day? 😁#picturebooks #skylibrarian

Students celebrated Lunar New Year in the media center this week! 🎉📚 They enjoyed read-alouds about the traditions and stories behind the holiday before diving into fun hands-on activities 🐉✨ #LunarNewYear #skylibrarian #read #picturebooks

This is a FriYay moment!!

They are both young adult. I am really enjoying the Paul Robeson (had a typo above), it is so relevant for everything happening right now. I can’t believe I have never heard of this amazing man! Dolssa is a little tough-historical fiction set in the 1200s in France. Too early to say!

Haha, that is quite a range of emotions!

I’m reading The Passion of Dolssa (print book) for a school assignment and listening to Paul Roberson:No One Can Silence Me (adapted for young adults).

Definitely a 2

Yes! I really love that they are stem supplies plus books.

I love these kits and would love to create something similar for my elementary families to be able to check out. Has any elem #skylibrarian done this & can offer advice or resources? #STEM #STEAM #mediaspecialist #schoollibrary #schoollibrarian TIA! www.aurorapubliclibrary.org/STEMKits-13454
