@opifan64 @LincolnD303 Thank you for creating such a wonderful book! The students have been requesting it nonstop!

[Karin Cranmer @karincranmer]

Congratulations to @opifan64 and Terry Fan! The Barnabus Project has won D303's Second Annual March Book Madness competition!
🎉🐘❤️📚
Thank you for participating, @LincolnD303!

[D303Pride @D303Pride]

🏆 After a month of reading and voting for their favorite books, students across the district have chosen The Barnabus Project as the 2022 March Book Madness Champion! Thank you to the elementary LRC directors for hosting this #InnovativeLearning experience! 📚

@FollettLearning I'm disappointed, Follett. Patron privacy is a key tenet of librarianship. If you claim to support students, librarians, and teachers, you need to be standing up against anything that threatens that privacy and freedom to read. So far, I'm not seeing that happen.

[Karin Cranmer @karincranmer]

Who will win it all? The Barnabus Project by @opifan64 and Terry Fan, or Chez Bob by @bobshea?
Find out on March 25!

And @LincolnD303 students, here is the exciting pizza book like that we learned about today! We can read it in August! 🍕🍕🍕

[Karin Cranmer @karincranmer]

HUGE thank you to @barberchicago, @AndersonsBkshp, and most of all, @gregpizzoli for the amazing virtual author visit! Your fans at @LincolnD303 are SO grateful that you were able to reschedule!!! THANK YOU!!!
🍉🦉📚❤️

[Karin Cranmer @karincranmer]

@abmack33 I know!!! Even the FollettBound ones we get have pages that just peel out within a few circulations. At least they get replaced for free, but still!

[Karin Cranmer @karincranmer]

Thanks to @AndersonsBkshp, @barberchicago, and especially @aishacs for an incredible virtual author visit! The students at @LincolnD303 loved it. If you ever have the opportunity to hear Aisha Saeed speak, take it!

And now I can't wait for Omar Rising to arrive...❤️📚🤩

[Karin Cranmer @karincranmer]

@DrTLovesBooks I have K-5 students, but we have a lot of donated consumable materials (egg cartons, cardboard tubes, yarn, fabric, sequins, googly eyes, pipe cleaners) that they enjoy using to create!

[Karin Cranmer @karincranmer]

Thank you so much @CarrieFinison and @DustiBowling for reading to our @LincolnD303 students yesterday for #WRAD! It was so special for them! 📚❤️🍩🌵

[Karin Cranmer @karincranmer]

We at @LincolnD303 are so excited to hear @CarrieFinison read to our K-2 students and @DustiBowling read to our 3-5 students! Happy #worldreadaloudday2022!!!

[Karin Cranmer @karincranmer]

@GenderPudding Not sure if this is quite new enough, but There's a Monster in Your Book by Tom Fletcher. We got it for my 3 year old niece and then promptly had to read it to her about 5 times in a row!

[Karin Cranmer @karincranmer]

@destinylawyer I'd argue that all three male protagonists in Ms Bixby's Last Day are pretty courageous. Also, Absolutely Almost, Soar (Bauer), and The Season of Styx Malone.

[Karin Cranmer @karincranmer]

I am one of the top @screencastify video creators in my district! #TopScreencaster 🎉 I guess that is what happens when you record videos for a semester of remote LRC! :)

Thanks, Screencastify, for a truly AMAZING product and for continuing to make each update even better!

@padlet We have Padlet Backpack - our school uses Google classroom and Schoology. Do you have instructions for how to force a copy within an LMS?

[Karin Cranmer @karincranmer]

Hey @Padlet - There isn't a way to force a copy of a Padlet, is there? I know how to make a copy, but for backpack users, it would be great if we could make a Padlet template that automatically makes a copy for selected students (so that they don't have to!).
