My principal wanted some images of our #SchoolLibrary to share, and I happened to've just been looking at a vid I made of the space when I first opened it; so I made a Before & After video.

I hid 300 mini dinosaurs in the media center today for Dino-vember. Let the chaos begin! #SchoolLibrary #TLSky #EduSky
Wood stool with a clear plastic container and a sign with colorful dinosaur images that says “It’s Dino-vember and the dinos are on the loose in the media center! Please help us find them and return them to this jar.” Three tiny plastic dinosaurs sit on a lid next to the container.

It’s Dino-vember! The fun is just beginning in the #SchoolLibrary. #TLSky #EduSky
Bulletin board with blue background. Text reads “it’s Dino-vember! Dig into a good book!” A dinosaur skeleton made from kraft paper and a shovel made with paper are on the board to the right of the words.

We’re celebrating #ChildrensBookWeek in our #SchoolLibrary with Dog Man & friends! With the newest Dog Man book coming out next week, this comics station is the perfect way to celebrate the joy of books & reading along with our readers' love of Dog Man. #TLSky #EduSky #kidlit

Woodgrain table with blue paper tray filled with copies of a comics template. A sign next to the tray reads "It's Children's Book Week. Can you create a comic that showcase a superpower that you would like to have?" A clear plastic pencil box with colored pencils and a white metal caddy with markers are also on the table.

For a Dino-vember themed Makerspace Monday activity, we made faux amber pieces. Some researched before drawing images, while others dove right in. Super simple project--cardstock circles colored w/colored pencils, shaded around, then glued to flatback glass marbles. #TLSky #SchoolLibrary #EduSky
Sign with information about amber and directions for making a faux amber craft on a table next to a clear pencil box filled with colored pencils.

The #SchoolLibrary dinosaur hunt was a huge hit with everyone today from our kindergarten kids to our too cool for school 5th graders. Many were located today (photo 1 was after AM book exchange, photo 2 at end of day) & kids want to know if I’ll do it again next month. #TLSky #EduSky

So proud to organize a panel with the amazing @amybrownlee93.bsky.social on reorganizing collections to fit our students! Each panelist did some show and tell and answered questions.

At the end we walked through the process of planning the panel, encouraging others to do the same.

Paycheck hit today, and it put me in a mathematical mind. Went back as far as our digital system allowed - 2014. Compared pay then to now: amt on the check is up 15%. Inflation in the same time period is up 37%.

Student passing through #SchoolLibrary (angrily, to friend): She took my phone!

Friend: Who?

S: Mrs. Blank.

Me: The teacher took the phone you weren’t supposed to have in class? How dare she!

S: *Withering look*

(I mean, I thought it was funny…) 😂

Every time I turned around this week & looked at this shelf displaying scary books, I had to add more. Readers were grabbing them up as fast as I put them out. VAMPIRE JAM SANDWICH by @caseylyall.bsky.social is quickly becoming a new school favorite. #kidlit #SchoolLibrary #TLSky #EduSky
Woodgrain shelf in a school library with a sign that has a picture of a bloodshot eye and says “grab an eye-catching read”. Shelf has 5 scary picture books standing up with covers facing out.

Bringing some more outdoors indoors with a fake ficus and a real cement pot.

Couple curb finds that cleaned up nicely, I think!

The concrete bunker that is our library space continues to grow more homey!

There is no better way to find mistakes in your work than to publicly present it to others.

Did a presentation in someone else’s classroom.

Mouse wouldn’t slide b/c the bottom was caked in gunk.

Keyboard keys didn’t like to move - tipped it upside-down, gave it some whacks. SO MUCH GRIT!
