Just finished this #VSBA nominee by @arden_katherine. Wow! @candyscreekthu1 middle grade Ss are going to LOVE this one. I think when they check it out, I will knowingly whisper to them "Remember: #keeptosmall."

Engaging kinesthetic learners! Kindergarten students connected to the text while mimicking the characters in the wordless book Flora & the Flamingo

These 3rd graders got to spend a few minutes #reading in a comfy spot at the end of class today. Lots of awwws when it was time to line up! @candyscreekthu1 @clevecityschool #librarylife

Another project complete!
Before: Our book shelves were too full, and @BlytheBower students were struggling to find books.
After: Students say it's much easier to find the book they want. Plus, it's more visually appealing. Win-win!

Reading aloud is essential in older grades as well as for younger readers. It provides a common shared text for discussion & teaching, but even more than that, it reminds our older kiddos what a joy it is to hear a story. ❤️ #GetLoudReadAloud #WorldReadAloudDay

[Ann Collins @Dr_Booklove]

Thanks to a grant from @BCEF_ORG these students enjoyed a book tasting today. Students sampled dozens of new chapter books and are excited to discover some new favorites!

The books have arrived, and I can't wait to have a book tasting with students in January! Congrats to the other awardees! #BBBAM

@MrSchuReads What are you reading for World Read Aloud Day? Last year's suggestion, You Don't Want a Unicorn by @AmeDyckman, was a huge hit at my school!

[Ann Collins @Dr_Booklove]

@BlytheBower 4th graders Skyped with the brilliant NY finger painting artist, Iris Scott, in art with our amazing art teacher, Mr. Dockery. Ss have been studying this technique and loved meeting and learning from her today.
