Our @menchacamustang 3rd-5th graders loved reading about both "the past and the present together," learning about "how cameras evolved" and exploring "how far movies have come." They voted for Action! How Movies Began by @meghanauthor to win this year's #SibertSmackdown! ๐๐๐
Our judges chose 6 winning bookmarks out of 100+ submissions for our #SchoolLibraryMonth Library Bookmark Contest. Our K-2nd grade winners chose to celebrate Harry the Dirty Dog by Gene Zion, Dog Man by #DavPilkey, and The Gumazing Gum Girl by @RhodeMontijo! #MenchacaReads ๐๐
Our creative @MenchacaMustang students celebrated #NationalPoetryMonth with #SpinePoetry again!๐คฉ

๐Happy Reading!๐
Yesterday was Essential Areas Day at Menchaca Elementary and #NotABox Day in the library! We read Not A Box by @aportisa and students worked in teams to create something new! #libraryfun
Our students read All the Way to the Top by @AnnettePimentel and @nabihaiderali with their counselors during our #NoPlaceforHate Mustang Voices for Change Project. They way students have connected with @jkclegacy's story is amazing!
"Do you have any more books about Jennifer?"
"When I say MUSTANG, you say VOICES!"
"ยกTu eres poderoso!"
"You can all be part of the change!"
What an incredible assembly today to celebrate the culmination of the hard work our @menchacamustang students have put into their #NoPlaceForHate Mustang Voices for Change projects! ๐ด
โ ๏ธWarning!โ ๏ธ When you read The #GumazingGumGirl by @RhodeMontijo to the entire @menchacamustang 2nd grade, you'll need 2 more sets of the series. When the books finally arrive, students will stare around ๐VERY suspiciously before hiding the next one they need๐ #MenchacaReads
September 30th is now Texas Reading Day!
Ten of our amazing Austin ISD Elementary Schools were invited to a read-along to read โJust Try One Biteโ with Camila McConaughey at the Long Center with H-E-B Read 3 for Texas Literacy Day!
