@PowellesPLAY 3rd & 4th graders - our cancelled spring book club featuring “The One & Only Ivan” is finally happening virtually! Flier coming this week for anyone interested in participating! @PowellPTA

[Jess Gill @jhgill2]

This year’s Project LIT book club is virtual & starting for @PowellesPLAY 5th graders! Check your classrooms for a flier on how to join, how to request a copy of the book from curbside pick up & how to listen to it being read!

[Jess Gill @jhgill2]

Curbside book pick up is underway! @PowellPTA @PowellesPLAY

@jennalyns I’m thinking about how we can do virtual book clubs & Ivan is at the top of my list!

@LiquetSemone It’s such an important perspective/life experience for kids to learn about!

July & August #LtlFreeLibraryDiverseBookProject July & August titles center on homelessness and immigrant experiences. Find copies at four @LtlFreeLibrary in Raleigh #wonderwake

[Jess Gill @jhgill2]

Lots of new titles at the @PowellesPLAY Little Free Library! @PowellPTA

[Jess Gill @jhgill2]

Q2. Allowing students the time to just BE in the library space. So often they are rushed to select a book/find what they need for a project when they may just want a space that's not their classroom. Or a quieter space than the lunch room, or a space to take a break #LibCollabPR

[Jess Gill @jhgill2]

@AlwynFJH @andreabeaty Yes! My school library would LOVE some!!!

[Jess Gill @jhgill2]

@allygal513 @PowellesPLAY @allygal513 Glad they’re being enjoyed!!

[Jess Gill @jhgill2]

@learnwithFox @FirstBook Thank you @learnwithFox (aka my unofficial colibrarian!)

[Jess Gill @jhgill2]

Lots of new books added to the Little Free Library at @PowellesPLAY @PowellPTA

[Jess Gill @jhgill2]

@KellyLGrimes @PowellesPLAY @KellyLGrimes We missed that one... we’ll have to make a visit!

[Jess Gill @jhgill2]

Field trip to find some of the places mentioned during social studies the last few weeks! Any other @PowellesPLAY 3rd grade families want to give this a try?#powellthirdgradeexploresraleigh
