You don’t have to read every day to be a Reader. You don’t have to read certain books or finish a certain number of books to be a Reader. You don’t have to finish every book you start to be a Reader. Do you love to read? Is it an important part of who you are? You’re a Reader.

It was a ton of fun introducing our 3rd graders to the merge cube and watching them learn about the solar system in a whole new way! Thank you @shannonmmiller for your Merge Cube template tip you shared in your blog. @HydeElementary @CCISDLibrary #ccisdlibs #mergecube

It was science time in our library learning commons today with our 2nd graders! We shared the book, “The Boy Who Invented the Popsicle” and conducted an experiment with water and oil while talking about the scientific process.
