Ms. Olivares' 3rd grade class is the Reading March Madness CHAMPS! 📚🌟 They crushed the competition by reading 1,000+ minutes every week and celebrated their big win with ice cream sundaes in the courtyard! Way to go! 🏆 @DISD_Libraries @CasaViewES @baverticalteam

A wild time in the library! 🐾 Thank you to @texaswildlife for an engaging Skins & Skulls presentation. Students became wildlife detectives, identifying mammals by their skulls while learning habitats, diets & survival adaptations! @DISD_Libraries @CasaViewES @baverticalteam

April is School Library Month and I need to brag on the librarians of Dallas ISD @DISD_Libraries . What they're doing for students across this district isn't just impressive. It's transformational.
A thread about the REAL impact happening in Dallas ISD libraries every single day. 🧵👇

One of the BEST library moments? ✨ Overhearing a group of friends-once reluctant readers-huddled together, swapping graphic novels and excitedly sharing their favorite parts. 📚 Stories build community, and I love seeing it happen! 💕 @CasaViewES @DISD_Libraries @baverticalteam

Our Casa View Eagles loved the "Birds of a Feather" presentation by @texaswildlife. They had a great time learning fun facts, identifying birds, researching, and even measuring wingspans! Talk about spreading their wings! 🦅 @DISD_Libraries @CasaViewES

Thanks to @Scholastic for making it possible to use our Scholastic Dollars on new Dog Man and Diary of a Wimpy Kid books! Our students couldn't wait to get their hands on them! 📚✨ @DISD_Libraries @CasaViewES

Our library transformed into a math lab! First graders read "Round is a Tortilla", then became shape detectives! Working in teams to find shapes hidden in plain sight. They celebrated every discovery and the excitement was priceless!🔍 @CasaViewES @DISD_Libraries @baverticalteam
