A little library ASMR to show off what we're reading this week. #pisdREADS #PearlHallProud #ElementaryLibrary

Hooray! It's Library Day! 📚
Welcoming in our first classes for library orientation and checkout. #pisdREADS #PearlHallProud #BestDayEver #ElementaryLibrary

@mrswthornhill My favorite students! 😉
They made my library heart happy. ♥️

Reading+Movement+A Little Fresh Air = A Successful Storybook Walk! This has been such a fun activity to share with our Panthers. More pictures to come...

I read Little Tree by @lorenlong to my kinder classes. We discussed seasons, mixed two primary colors to make a secondary color & talked about how we feel when things change. Something magical happens when science, art, and SEL can all be shared through one amazing story!

It's spooky season in the library! 👻📚
We checked out new books, turned the lights off, clicked on our flashlights and did a little reading.

DWSD - Great day of learning with my Library PLT! 📚 #pisdREADS #PearlHallProud

Mixed a little math into my PK & Kinder read aloud. We read Pete the Cat and His Four Groovy Buttons, then practiced retelling and counting using a mini Pete with velcro buttons. Those smiles tell me they loved it! 🥰 #pisdREADS #PearlHallProud #PISDLAchat #PISDMathChat

Our 3rd & 4th grade teachers had the opportunity to choose a Bluebonnet Book for a classroom read aloud. I happily bought them each a copy and am ready to deliver happy mail! 💌

The Legend of GRAVITY by Charly Palmer had all of our fourth graders talking about the importance of team work. 🏀🗑️
"I can't win the game," Gravity said. "But WE can."

These two first graders got my day off to the best start!
All on their own, they pulled out their library books and read while they waited in the pod before school.
Makes my librarian heart happy! ❤️

Unbound The Life & Art of Judith Scott captivated all of my third grade classes this week. It's only our first Bluebonnet read aloud, but I think it will be on the list of favorites when it comes voting time. @TXLA

This is a bulletin board for our current reading challenge, but if you take a second look, it's a math board too! Does anyone else see a graph and number line? 😉

Student's have been learning expectations & practicing procedures during Library Training Camp the last few weeks. They are becoming all stars at self checkout! 📚

PK visited the library today & learned how to take care of library books. We read Mr. Wiggle's Book by Paula Craig and sorted what we would and wouldn't do with our library books. Ended the class by browsing books and practicing what we learned. #pisdpk #pearlhallproud #pisdREADS

[Amanda Butcher @ButcherReads]

Check out our new book bins!
These have been an amazing addition to our library! Book bins make book selection much easier for our littlest Panthers.🐾 Forward facing books are more inviting and easy to browse. 📚 #pisdREADS #PearlHallPride #ElementaryLibrary #pisdLAchat

This group of PK readers was all smiles when they visited the library yesterday! 📚

1st library class of the year! Mr. Gomez's third grade class was in the library at 8 AM this morning. They were excited to be the first students of the year to check out books. First class = first choice out of everything on the shelves! #pisdREADS
