What a great 1st six weeks! We are rocking it, and I canโt wait to see #OURKIDS continue to read and grow in #OURHOUSE! Checkout our stats and all the great things our Lions are doing in the @Lamar_MS library!
Our first book club was a success! We read Night Chef and brought the book to life with a trail mix snack, decorated chef hats, discussed the story, and had fun with โWould You Rather?โ questions. We wrapped up by revealing our next book! @LivelyEagles@IrvingLibraries
@BartonBuff 3rd graders brought Adelaโs Mariachi Band to life! ๐ถ After reading the story, students used @makeymakey to code and play their very own bongos. @IrvingLibraries
After reading about some incredible
music and musicians for Hispanic Heritage Month, @ES_Farine falcons constructed kazoos to make some music of their own! @IrvingISD@IrvingLibraries
@HaleyHornFrogs really got busy in the library last 6 weeks with robots, research, collaboration, problem solving, and reading! It was a whirlwind of activity and so many books. @IISD_iLearn@IrvingLibraries
๐๐ป 1st Six Weeks in the Brown Bears Library! ๐๐

After reading Frida Kahloโs Flower Crown with 4th graders, sts created their own crowns inspired by their personalities, interests, and what makes them unique.
A beautiful way to celebrate Fridaโs art and let students celebrate themselves, too! @LivelyEagles@IrvingLibraries
Sometimes being brave doesn't mean you aren't scared. Vera la Valiente is Scared is a sweet reminder that taking a first step can go a long way when facing our fears. @LivelyEagles@IrvingLibraries
Students accessed over 62k resources this six weeks--covering topics from Arthurian Legend to The Lost Boys of Sudan. In the library, that includes responding to open ended questions to help build background for in class texts. In the library, we read AND write! @IrvingLibraries
We've been busy, and not just with moving in! ๐ From library orientation and book tastings to writing and speaking practice with our EB students, Crockett Cougars are already making the most of our library. @IrvingLibraries
@ES_Farine students used reading comprehension skills as they retold the story of, I Am La Chiva. Students mapped out the story sequence and used @Ozobot to create the path of the bus! We tied cultural stories and ELA to celebrate HHM! @IrvingISD@IrvingLibraries
Today 2nd grade learned about Celia Cruz and her contributions to Latin music. Sts then created a kazoo and to say this student loved her music is an understatement! AZUCAR! @LivelyEagles@IrvingLibraries
The 1st 6 weeks flew by in the library! Sts learned, read, collaborated, created, and explored. We also welcomed our Juicebot, LEILA who is bilingual, stylish, and ready to help! Stay tuned for all the fun that the second six weeks will bring. @LivelyEagles@IrvingLibraries
๐ถ๐ Music meets STEM in the library! Students read Adelaโs Mariachi Band and then made some music of their own using @makeymakey bongo drums! ๐ช๐ต They loved exploring how technology can bring music to life! @IrvingLibraries
