So impressed with these grade 2 students learning how to do beginning research using online databases! Students are using Worldbook Early Learning to gather facts about an animal for step one of this project. Step two will be creating a page in @BookCreatorApp...stay tuned!

Such an easy way to get kids trying out new texts! A Book Tasting Picnic got our grade 4 and 5 students checking out new material that hasn't been circulating as much. All they needed was a little time!

These mini whiteboards have been a great tool for learning in the library. Grade one students are learning features of fiction and nonfiction through exploration of books about bugs. In this activity, students planned out the elements for a fictional story about a bug.

It's Computer Science week and we are exploring coding with #ScratchJr. Last week was unplugged coding, next week is coding robots! Students of all ages can learn to code as long as learning begins with time to play and explore as they build understanding. #HourofCode2021

Gearing up for hour of code week next week! Grade two students practicing problem-solving and critical thinking in Minecraft EDU.

@kelseybogan Wow. Thank you for this eye-opening blog post. Ahead of planning to put up the tree next week in the library, this has given me a lot to think about. Lots of food for thought here- I really appreciate your insights. Thank you for sharing.

Teacher and Librarian collaboration afternoons are my favourite! Grade 2 students pre-planned their 3D spider creations, gathered materials, built, revised and improved their plans- the beautiful process of design-thinking! They used @PicCollage to then label their creations!

Grade 2's are learning all about ADST mindset in the Library Learning Commons here at RBE. Most recently, we've taken on some structure building challenges as we learn about architecture and building. #iggypeckarchitect #thetallestreehouse #ADSTinthelibrary #collaboration

We love ALL of the Bruce stories by Ryan T. Higgins @RyanT_Higgins in our Library Learning Commons! After reading the series, students in Kindergarten made their own story provocations to come up with new story ideas for why Bruce is so grumpy! #librarylearning #sd35

@Roomtoplay have you come across this book before https://t.co/DOj0wzZbrP. I saw it and thought of you and all you do!

@Mr_Lister @bctla I love reading The New LiBEARian by Alison Donald to teach kindergartners the proper pronunciation and that I'm not a bear 😉.
