Thanks to a AFCEA grant, I got 2 new classroom copies of Dragons Love Tacos by @rubingo.bsky.social to use with a preschool design challenge. After listening to the story, Ss will design & build a taco (not spicy of course) in case a dragon comes to visit. #TLSky #KidLit #STEMed #librarian

Love this idea to promote a reading culture.
Basically a fancy name for independent reading! 4th & 5th graders come to the media center during their recess block with a book and read. Everyone reads what they want or finds a book they want to read. No pressure, no stress, just extra reading time for kids who want it. It's been a big hit.

Love this idea to promote a reading culture.
So impressed with your curriculum. I bet it helps save a life.
Today!!! @authorlisafipps.bsky.social it’s today!! After three years of course development, 180 medical students are learning about weight bias in medicine through this book. I am so excited and so proud to bring #kidlit to medical school!

Yup.
There seem to be a number of Americans who don’t know what to do if they find a book they don’t like at the library.
For them, we wrote this handy step-by-step guide.

As part of an intro to poetry, Ss looked for rhythm, rhyme, imagery, and repetition in poems they selected from our collection. Ss then became illustrators! Next up, are music lyrics poetry? #TLSky #schoollibrarian

I love doing wild things with books like giving students the text of a picture book but letting them come up with their own illustrations before seeing the actual full picture book! If you know, you know…
