Welcome to Gooch Elementary's Library! I'm Gus the Gator and this school year is going to be amazing. We have so many fun and engaging activities planned.

School's out for summer! Here are some free ways to read to keep your child busy and help prevent reading regression. @goochelementary

School may be out, but the reading adventures are just getting started! Be sure to check out the Dallas Public Library’s summer reading programs, events, and activities happening across the city all summer long.

4th grade Gators showed their knowledge in creative ways, with their Water Cycle Comics in Mr. McKamie's class and a Dream Room Project in Ms. Monteiro's. Such brilliant minds. ❤️ @goochelementary

Gators are celebrating turning their books in on time with a popcorn party, a movie, and some free time. Great job Gators! @goochelementary @DISD_Libraries

Reading "Mother Bruce" by Ryan T. Higgins always gets us laughing and in a good mood. Students created "tacky" shirts to wear in Miami with Bruce and his geese. @goochelementary

The Hockaday Orchestra performed for us today. They played so beautifully and influenced some future orchestra kids. @goochelementary

Sometimes our Gators need a change of scenery. Centers in the gym did the trick. ❤️ @goochelementary

To get ready for the hot summer, we read "Paletero Man" by Lucky Diaz. Students had a choice to either create their own paleta or share their favorite flavors with the class. @goochelementary @DISD_Libraries

3rd Graders have been learning about the importance of financial literacy. Today they held a marketplace event in the gym where they sold handmade items as well as snacks and drinks. Such a fun, hands-on experience. @goochelementary

Our Gators know how to show up and show out for our amazing principal, Mr. Singh. @goochelementary @PsinghEDU

[Gus the Gator @GoochLibrary]

Happy Principals' Day to the greatest principal around. Mr. Singh is loved and the Gators showed him just how much he is appreciated! @goochelementary @PsinghEDU

Tomorrow is Earth Day but we have been celebrating it since Monday. We read "We Are Water Protectors" by Carole Lindstrom. Students then recycled empty snack boxes to create their own unique bookmarks. Lots of fun was had. @goochelementary @DISD_Libraries

[Gus the Gator @GoochLibrary]

We are celebrating Library Week here at Gooch. We read "The Library Fish" by Alyssa Satin Capucilli and then kindergarten had a thrilling scavenger hunt before creating their very own library fish. @goochelementary @DISD_Libraries

[Gus the Gator @GoochLibrary]

This week we read "The Name Jar" by Yangsook Choi. Students then created their own name jars and practiced using stamps on paper and playdough, similar to the main character, Unhei's, own name stamp. @goochelementary @DISD_Libraries

[Gus the Gator @GoochLibrary]

Happy School Librarian Day to Ms. Jones! We can definitely tell the students love her here at Gooch. What a wonderful surprise to walk into this morning. @goochelementary

All hands on deck as we come together to support our students and help them prepare for success! 📚

We love a good collaborative project. For Women's History Month, students in 3rd-6th researched influential women in the library and then created beautiful crayon transfer portraits in art to display in the halls right in time for Academic Night. @goochelementary @DISD_Libraries
