Who will win the staring contest? Third graders studied, then coded Dash in order to write simile poems all about him!

Spotted: Ms. Viola Swamp, Harry Potter, Rainbow Fish, Waldo, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, and artists galore. Middleton students and teachers had so much fun dressing up as their favorite book characters for #ReadAcrossAmerica!

Having fun and all the feels in the library!

Fourth graders met via Zoom with author Anita Sanchez to discuss her newest book "Meltdown: Discover Earth's Irreplaceable Glaciers and Learn What You Can Do to Save Them." They asked deeply thoughtful and empathic questions about how to protect our planet.

[Beth Glaser, Middleton Media Center @MediaCenter735]

Fourth graders completed their genre unit by "breaking out" of the library. Students had to work together to sort books, complete puzzles, and crack codes in order to save the day. Look at their excitement!

@MrSchuReads Thank you! Hope you are having a wonderful book-filled year too!

Fifth graders researched stars, then put on their astronaut gear and traveled to outer space via green screen. The accompanying stories they wrote detailed the many adventures on the way!

[McCracken Library @MCLibrary_SD735]

The first graders walked in to class with @MediaCenter735 as we were finishing up a library meeting… and then they spotted their librarian from kindergarten! They love @MeyerLib_SD735 so much. 🥰📚🥹 Our libraries are full of joy in @Skokie735!

[Beth Glaser, Middleton Media Center @MediaCenter735]

We were so lucky to have author @KeklaMagoon visit our fifth graders yesterday! They loved hearing about her new book, Chester Keene Cracks the Code, and all about her writing journey. Thank you for spending your time with us @KeklaMagoon!
