G5 chose a stack of relevant learning books today by evaluating each choice against the criteria of the unit. So relevant, so engaging, and so important for continued research skills. Thanks ⁦@BIS_PS_Library⁩ for the inspiration and ⁦@5MCclass⁩ for the hard work!

It’s time again! I’m ready to challenge the G2s with their first ⁦@breakoutEDU⁩ box for their new HWOO unit - it may look like just a wooden box, but it’s a real exercise in critical problem solving, teamwork, and communication. Will they do it??! #BISlearns

Thanks to the Chinese home language kids, we have a new addition to our library's time zone wall! All BIS families are welcome to bring in a clock to add to share the time of their home country, so if you haven't yet, please do! #BISlearns

If you're looking for a new book to read, check out any of the 200+ amazing OPALS reviews the Grades 4 & 5 are writing this year as part of the 4/5 Reading Challenge (link here: https://t.co/pGvK81jzQK). What a great way to authentically promote new reading!

G1 HWOO - our community of Grade 1 learners is working to share the responsibility of ensuring that the library’s picture books are in the right spots and findable for all users. This supports everyone who uses this space - what principled community members!!! #BISpyp #BISlearns

Don’t worry - this is an approved library mess - Zoya and Matias are doing their jobs sorting and shelving easy readers. This is one of their jobs each week, and they are very responsible about it, helping keep our library organized each and every time they come. 📚#BISlearns

Today the EC2 is exploring our library’s Favorite Characters buckets - Curious George, Fly Guy, Fancy Nancy, Elephant & Piggie.... Which favorite characters do you remember reading when you were a kid? #BISlearns

You know it must be a good selection of books when the shelf of this year’s titles is empty week after week after week... #HanselGretelAward #bislearns

It pays to be proactive! A new study finds that greeting students at the door increases engagement by 20% and reduces disruptions by 9%—effectively adding 1 hour of learning per day. https://t.co/K7DbR0y1FL

Bangle is searching through these picture books to make sure they’re all in the right spot/direction. This is his favorite job as an official shelf organizer each week; he is one of the many important students who work together to keep our library in order! #bislearns

@blaho_blaho We’ve just ordered two child-friendly sewing machines; can pass on details if you want?

EC2 learners are learning about and checking out our Nonfiction Easy Reader section today - it’s fun to show our youngest readers that they can grow their brains with fact-filled books too! #bislearns

[Wendy Foreman 📚 @miss_f_library]

@Angela_learning just ordered heaps of these titles for our library - great list, thank you for sharing!

[Wendy Foreman 📚 @miss_f_library]

@MsMonicaECL I would like to have 8 naps in my day, please!

[Wendy Foreman 📚 @miss_f_library]

Grade 2 students working with our library’s (many!) codes and answering the question, ‘how do we find a book on the shelf once we’ve searched for it on the computer?’ Match the code to the section!

#STEM EP at it again; the ingredients for our snow science experiments are locked in the #breakoutedu boxes. Which group will break out first?!? #BISlearns
