A little STEM in the library Part 2! Our 5th graders explored lunar phases with help from Science/Math Coach Ms. Reyna & teacher Ms. G. NotebookLM provided the intro video, and we added 2D & 3D moon models to bring the phases to life! Stay tuned for more science in the library!

This year we strengthened our STEM section and partnered with our 5th grade science teacher Ms. G to bring all classes into the library for hands-on science lessons. The library isn’t just for reading, it’s a hub for exploration, curiosity, and discovery.

I was floored by the unprompted discussion from Ms. Martinez's kinder class as we read one of my favorite tree books for Arbor Day. They picked up on one of the themes, remembering the good things. A beautiful moment

What happens when you mix fun with learning? Our 3rd graders tackled an escape room challenge to prepare for the STAAR...and it paid off! They came into yesterday’s test confident and ready. We’re so proud! #STAARReady #EduFun #3rdGrade

5th grade scientists @desertaire_yisd are racing to escape the science review rooms before STAAR! If they fail this particular room… they’re stuck in the library shelving books FOREVER!
