Great way to kick-start the school year & I feel SO lucky to share ideas & do PD Sessions with @ChrisLowman19

[Chris Lowman @ChrisLowman19]

Loved having the opportunity to share our Makerspace Make&Take ideas at #DTALcon yesterday with @JuleeDonnell! Engaging, curriculum-connected and kids walk away with a souvenir of their learning. Our @vbschools friends are jumping on board! @vblms @JennClementsVB @cwhinsch

[Julee Donnell @JuleeDonnell]

The SPCA has a program called Listening Ears where pets are brought to the library each week for students to read to them. It is the cutest thing ever! @vbspca

[Julee Donnell @JuleeDonnell]

@JennClementsVB Haha!! Pressure is on - challenge accepted. I will do this or something else 🫣

[Julee Donnell @JuleeDonnell]

I did not know that Google turned 25 years old until I saw that #thebookwrangler made this cool resource. What a fun way to get students to read a different variety of books.

[Julee Donnell @JuleeDonnell]

I love @BookCreatorApp This is the 1st time that I have used the collaboration feature! 5th graders did research on a Civil War famous person independently & then partnered up for the presentation platform. They had fun working together creating & sharing their information

The rubber band bracelets have been a hit in Makerspace this month. They have learned how to use their fingers as the loom. This table is PACKED all day everyday!

[Julee Donnell @JuleeDonnell]

2 VERY busy stations at Makerspace this month - cups & Shrinky Dinks. It makes me so happy that things that I enjoyed when I was little are still considered super fun.

[Julee Donnell @JuleeDonnell]

Great conference @vste23! I’ll be heading back to VB with lots of new ideas I’m excited about!

[Sharon Shewbridge @DrShewbridge]

Proud of ⁦@vbschools⁩ representation ⁦@vste⁩ this year!

[Julee Donnell @JuleeDonnell]

2nd graders worked together to summarize a book, figure out the code & then get into a Breakout Box!

[Julee Donnell @JuleeDonnell]

@LMS_United @rgrov1013 @MamaGilbsLib Yay!! This is SO exciting! Can’t wait to listen!

[Julee Donnell @JuleeDonnell]

Halloween was so busy that I didn’t post until a day later. Haunted Houses in Makerspace, sequencing thru cup stacking with 1st Gr. for There was an Old Lady who Swallowed a Bat, & 3rd Gr. started their unit on Forces & Simple Machines which began w/ push & pull using Dash robots

Congrats to an amazing teacher & friend!

[Jaclyn Kopp @MsJKopp]

Congratulations to our White Oaks 2025 Teacher of the Year! You are amazing and so deserving!

When I saw these little hats & stickers at Dollar Tree, I immediately thought of the book Grimelda the Very Messy Witch. PreK crafted while working their little fine motor skills.

[Julee Donnell @JuleeDonnell]

3 very exciting days for a school librarian: 1) having the book fair delivered; 2) excitement from the kids about the book fair; 3) having the book fair packed back up & getting the library back. It’s exhausting, but wouldn’t change a thing!

[Julee Donnell @JuleeDonnell]

I love Spirit Week & I didn’t get a single picture until yesterday. “Team up & be kind online” for Digital Citizenship Week. I snapped a few with my fellow Dolphins fans.

[Julee Donnell @JuleeDonnell]

4th Grade Breakout Box fun. They always begin with locating books in Destiny Discover to find hidden clues inside.

[Julee Donnell @JuleeDonnell]

@abgerman @BrickellAcademy @mrgshoe @BrickellPTA @mrswoodteach @vblms @JennClementsVB @cwhinsch @MrHowardODS Love this! Do students get an iPad with the Novel Effect app & then read the book?

[Julee Donnell @JuleeDonnell]

PreK read If you Ever Meet a Skeleton and then made themselves into skeletons. They did SO good with the glue and remembered, “just a dot not a lot”.

[Julee Donnell @JuleeDonnell]

They had SO much fun & did SO great with @Pixton

[Ms. Stranger, NBCT @LesleyStranger]

Students had a blast working on their Pixton comic strips explaining 3 of the Bill of Rights Amendments! A huge shout out to @JuleeDonnell for facilitating the lesson! @WhiteOaksDragon

[Julee Donnell @JuleeDonnell]

This was my first time doing a Directed Drawing & it was GREAT! So many skills - Listening, following directions, waiting, keeping up, & personalizing their drawing. K read Chicka Chicka Boom Boom then drew a coconut tree.
