These Lakers (and their families) had a great time at our first Doherty Book of the Month Club! π€π³We loved spending time with Roz, The Wild Robot!! @wbloomfieldschl
We rolled out the red carpet for the amazing @supriyakelkar_ ! We loved reading her books and growing our hearts together in the library! Thank you @westbloomlib for making this visit possible and supporting our readers! #OnlyWB@wbloomfieldschl
Readers βtastedβ so many delicious books at our Book Cafe today! We took sneak peeks of all of our Pine Cone books! Thank you @westbloomlib for your collaboration and making this program possible! #OnlyWB
Continuing our Mock Caldecott journey in the library! Readers are creating magnet poetry and their own crown to celebrate Langston! They are going to be so excited when they find out this book is an award winner!! #OnlyWB
"School libraries are a vital resource, so when I hear of schools with no full-time librarian - and sometimes, no librarian at all - Iβm bewildered. Itβs like theyβre asking students to walk through a dense and vast forest without a guide." - @jcostabates https://t.co/Jl9eMcrVCU
Young author hard at work tonight after we read βIβm Fromβ in our school library today! Thank you for creating such a gem! @GaryRGrayJr@ogemora β€οΈππ
Children's brain activity looks different whether they are reading narrative or informational text--no surprise that classroom research suggests our instruction for these genres should be different too (e.g., purposes established for reading, text structures taught, ?s asked...)
We are having so much fun launching our Mock Caldecott unit! Readers are also making books. One artist awarded himself the Caldecott medal on his latest creation! β€οΈπ#OnlyWB
Happy Picture Book Month! I love picture books. I collect them. I share them. I write them. Our students are never too old to be read aloud a picture book or to read aloud a picture book. https://t.co/adP5CByAQc
