Junior Kindergarten has learned the difference between fiction and nonfiction. After reading about elephants on PebbleGo they enjoyed the book Strictly No Elephants. Then used felt shapes to make their own pet to join the Pet Club. We even used puppets as our models. #dcdsreads
Having some winter fun in the library! #dcdsreads
With the holiday break fast approaching, don't forget that you can check out books from our libraries so you have books to read. Here's a fun display Mrs. Dobbs, our Upper School librarian, made. #DCDSReads
First, second, & third graders had an opportunity to join a virtual visit from Mary Pope Osborne, author of the Magic Tree House books. This Book Break author visit allowed students to learn about her writing process & what books she is working on now! #DCDSReads @MaryPopeOsborne
Preschool students enjoyed the story Leaf Trouble. Then they worked with a friend to mix up the story and put back in the correct order! #dcdsreads
Kindergartners were book care detectives! They investigated what happened to each book and figured out ways to keep it from happening again! One of my favorite borrowed lessons from @illinimccoy! #dcdsreads #mischoollibary
We started out Community Read this week with the book Boxitects! For prereading we used a mystery bag with a cardboard object inside. We shared what we thought it could be! It always awesome to how kids view things! #dcdsreads

Teacher Book Party at the Middle School!
Last week, faculty stopped in to party with the new books this week and filled out TBR (To Be Read) lists.
The books (and teachers!) are excited to welcome students back to school. #DCDSreads #DCDSFun #reading
Fun end-of-the-year read aloud! After exploring a picture of Hamilton Fountain Kindergartners heard the story Goldfish on Vacation and then made something for their goldfish to take with them on their trip using Play-doh. #dcdsreads
Great stuff here! Author Kelly J. Baptist visited the Middle School. Before her visit, 4th-6th grade students read some of her stories. They participated in decision-making activities and engaged Kelly with insightful questions about writing and her life. #DCDSreads #DCDSfun

We had an amazing author/illustrator visit from @shelleyjohannes this week! She shared where her inspiration comes from, her writing process, and taught us how to draw Beatrice! The kids loved it! #mischoollibrary #DCDSReads
This picture is so many things! How genrefying has changed how kids use the library. It is about one of these boys who used to hate reading until he found something hilarious! It shows the power of kids recommending books to kids. I am just happy I got to catch it! #DCDSReads
In celebration of Black History Month & World Read Aloud Day, 6th graders read "The Undefeated" by @KwameAlexander & @KadirNelson. Students engaged in a discussion about the book & the theme of "education is empowerment," connecting to their history class. #DCDSReads #Caldecott
What elementary-aged student doesn't love Diary of a Wimpy Kid? Our third graders were able to not only draw cartoons like @wimpykid, but thanks to @BookBreak4Schls they were able to virtually meet him! #DCDSFun #DCDSReads
