Thank you so much @Dusti_Bowling for speaking to our class virtually today! We loved learning about writing and the wonderful characters you created in Insignificant Events in the Life of a Cactus! So much fun! #readers #writers

I went for a walk before I started my day and this was waiting in my yard when I got home! I’m not crying—you’re crying! The entire Center School community is incredible. Thank you @MikeVerderame #ellingcen

Too busy waving—and trying to keep from dropping my sign or falling into the car—to take many pictures, but so loved our parade today! Look at that line of cars! So good to see so many students! Miss you all! #centerschoolstrong #ellincen

This would be great fun for kids! Who can resist doodling with Mo Willems?

Great opportunity for kids to learn from a favorite author!

Thanks to all our guest readers who joined us for #ReadAcrossAmerica ! We had a judge, high school students, board members, administrators, old friends—too many to name! Thanks @ellingtonHSlib for bringing your students! Lots of fun!

Kicking off Read Across America with a visit from Rep. Christopher Davis reading to Mrs. Hoffman’s 1st graders. Thanks so much for sharing a book with our students! #readers #ellingcen

It’s a dreary Monday morning but our amaryllis is in bloom! Stop by the library for a bit of spring! More blooms are on the way!

This week in 1st grade we read Extra Yarn by Mac Barnett and made people out of OUR extra yarn! Lots of fun to make and take! #readers #makers #ellingcen

There was no clear favorite at today’s #nutmegbookaward luncheon. We had 15 students in 4th and 5th grade discussing the books and having some fun. I can’t wait to see which book wins in April! #readers #ellingcen

[Center Library @libraryatcenter]

The snowball fight is my favorite part of our #nutmegbookaward luncheon. The snowball a student is left with contains the book question they answer. Students shared great thinking about this year’s books. #ellingcen

We have some amazing projects underway designed and created by the 5th and 6th graders who like to spend recess in the makerspace. I’m always impressed by their creativity! #makers #ellingcen

Students in Mrs. Menard’s class designed some very creative treehouses after reading Froggy Builds a Treehouse by Jonathan London. #makers #feelslikespring

Don't forget to return your Winter Reading Challenge "mugs" to school to show the reading you have done over break! Looking forward to seeing everyone soon! #readers #ellingcen
