Happy Reading! 😎

@meghanauthor @menchacamustang We watched some of your promo videos, too, and there are a lot more Buster Keaton fans in the world now! 😁

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! 🎉📖🎉

[Menchaca Library @MenchacaLibrary]

Kinder-2nd grade @menchacamustang students loved the detail, "mix of cartoon and real life," "cool looking" pictures, and "magical rainbow colors" of @dsantat's illustrations in #EndlesslyEverAfter. It's the winner of this year's #MenchacaCaldecott!

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

[Menchaca Library @MenchacaLibrary]

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?"

[Menchaca Library @MenchacaLibrary]

"When I say MUSTANG, you say VOICES!"
"¡Tu 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! 🐴

[Menchaca Library @MenchacaLibrary]

⚠️Warning!⚠️ 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 👀VERY suspiciously before hiding the next one they need😄 #MenchacaReads

[Menchaca Library @MenchacaLibrary]

Thank You to @vanggarrett1 for sharing KICKS 👟with us in a SHOE-pendous virtual story time today! Your book made our @menchacamustang's "insides smile" 😁! @HEB #HEBread3 #BeTheChange

[Menchaca Library @MenchacaLibrary]

@menchacamustang We shared this book on Carter G. Woodson, father of #BlackHistoryMonth last year! You can never have too many copies! Check out the phenomenal #endpapers!

[Menchaca Library @MenchacaLibrary]
