What’s happening this week in the @SoddyLakers Library? We read St. Patrick’s Day books that featured leprechauns as the protagonists and then came up with a plan on how they’ll catch one if they find it next week! They had so much fun!

As for my girls, I’ll raise them to believe they breathe fire! - Jessica Kirkland

In addition to what we studied during our library classes (previous post), we also had read aloud hour with community members where they came and read to kids on Wednesday! On Thursday, we had our literacy parade (time lapse below)! It’s been an awesome #ReadAcrossAmericaWeek!

[Lindsay Prater, Ed.S. @MrsLibrarianMum]

What happened in the @SoddyLakers Library this week? We read Dr. Seuss books and discovered he was one of the original masters of rhythmic cadence. Students showed their learning by stepping into Seuss’s shoes and writing their own stories 😍 Kids raided the Dr. Seuss shelves!!

@memangrum @hamcoschools Will Normal Park become a k-12 when they move? It mentions CCA becoming one, but not NP. (At least the updated one)

You know what I love? That I can be in any city or town in America with some time to kill, and there is almost always a public library nearby. Literally a building filled with free books and WIFI where people in the community can work, relax, and spend time in quiet.

@thepassage423 Are there more of these?! They’re amazing!!

[Lindsay Prater, Ed.S. @MrsLibrarianMum]

[Lindsay Prater, Ed.S. @MrsLibrarianMum]

What’s happening in the @SoddyLakers Library this week? We are studying all things Black History. PK is learning about the letter Q and K is studying the state of Tennessee.
