What an incredible day of learning at the Moroles Library! 📚✨ We were so honored to have The Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum visit our students. 🏛️❤️

Our 2nd graders were captivated by a Shadow Puppet Theater show 🎭🕯️, learning about the inspiring lives of Upstanders like Helen Keller, Maggie Gee, and Dorie Miller! 🌟👏

Meanwhile, our 5th graders dove into local history, discovering the story of Dallas Civil Rights Activist Clarence Broadnax 📰🏽. They did an amazing job creating newspaper spreads to share his powerful story! 🗞️✍️

A huge thank you to the Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum, as well as our wonderful teachers Ms. Kathy, Ms. Heather, and Ms. Paige, for teaching our students what it means to be an Upstander and stand up for what is right. 🤝💫

🌍💚 Earth Month at Moroles Library was a blast! 📚

Ms. Juarez and Ms. Harker’s 5th grade classes explored science in action with a hands-on soil permeability lab, testing how water moves through different types of soil and discussing the importance of healthy earth systems. 🧪🌱 Thanks to materials from @DFWAirport #OurPowerOurPlanet 🌍🔬

Even our PreK4 littles joined the fun! 👧👦 Ms. Rico and Ms. Luna helped students plant seeds and care for them daily in the library courtyard. 🌸🌞

The library is more than a place for reading — it’s a space for exploration, discovery, and powerful learning experiences! 💡📖🌎

🎨💻 Ms. Cooper’s 4th and 5th Grade Art Vanguard students went full STEAM ahead this month as they combined technology and creativity in an exciting hands-on project!

First, students used Tinkercad, a 3D design platform, to build their names on a keychain. 🖱️
Once their designs were finalized, they sent their files to the library’s 3D printers, where they had the chance to observe the printing process throughout the week! 🖨️
After printing, students got hands-on with the finishing touches—they painted them in bold, vibrant colors, making each piece uniquely their own. 🎨🖌️

This project was an amazing blend of art, engineering, and design thinking—and our students absolutely crushed it! 💡

A huge THANK YOU to Ms. Cooper for the passion, creativity, and hard work she poured into guiding her students through this unforgettable STEAM journey. 👏

What is the best way to celebrate National School Library Month?
With my favorite library program — Book Buddies! 📚

Ms. Whitacre’s 8th graders once again wowed us by reading stories to our Kindergarten and 1st grade students. 🧒🏽👧🏼👦🏾

These moments aren’t just adorable — they’re powerful. 💥 School libraries create meaningful learning experiences that help nurture the minds of learners.🌱✨Because when you read, your seed of knowledge grows. 📖➡️🌳

🌊📚 For #WomensHistoryMonth, the Moroles Library celebrated amazing women in STEAM by reading Shark Lady: The True Story of How Eugenie Clark Became the Ocean's Most Fearless Scientist! 🦈💡

Our students dove deep into the ocean 🐠🌊 using Merge Cubes and augmented reality to explore the wonders of the deep blue sea. We also journeyed through space 🚀, discovered dinosaurs 🦖, and even explored human anatomy! 🧠💥

The excitement was palpable as everyone created their own digital landscapes and snapped some fun pics along the way! 📸✨
