This year, we got to have Festive Lotería in (a classroom because I double booked) the library! My A Lunch ladies are always a joy 🥰🎄

[SHMS Texans Library @see_sam_read]

The library’s been buzzing! 📚
A surprise book fair, Beanstack reading champs, and a deep dive into making our collection more relevant for students. Grateful for the teachers who keep readers coming our way—thank you for helping our library thrive! 💛 @IrvingLibraries

Started this Thursday off the best way possible: giving away $$ for books! 🤠 this student has logged the most minutes in Beanstack & was SO excited this morning!

We're already a quarter of the way to our @zoobeanreads reading goal for the year and it's only the beginning of October! Celebrate my students by purchasing some of the prizes on our wishlist!

1st Six Weeks magic in the BOY chaos: strong digital resource usage & almost 19k minutes spent reading from our campus! @IrvingLibraries

Celebrated #DotDay with Mrs. Walker’s classes. Complete the drawing activities are a favorite that fosters creativity and critical thinking!

📐🔐 Created math escape rooms targeting our campus’s lowest TEKS—not bad for someone who never taught math! Just another way librarians can be versatile instructional partners in every content area! #SeeSamRead @IrvingLibraries

📚 Houston Library in Action! 📚
In the last 6 weeks, we:
📖 Checked out 959 books/317 eBooks
💻 Accessed 3,513 digital resources
🕯 Hosted a Holocaust Gallery Walk to deepen historical understanding.
From engaging lessons to reading challenges, our library is buzzing! 📖💙

[SHMS Texans Library @see_sam_read]

Last week, I facilitated a @HolocaustMuseum gallery walk with Mrs. Walker’s 8th graders. Students placed victim biography cards on an interactive timeline of laws, decrees, & key historical events—deepening their understanding before crafting an extended constructed response.

Just checked out this morning and eager to read over lunch! We love to see it! #SamSide #SeeSamRead #IrvingReads

📚✨ 2nd Six Weeks at @SamhoustonMS Library was a hit! From teaching lessons to celebrating Día de Muertos, and crushing digital engagement with 5K+ resource views—our library buzzed with activity. Here's to more connections and creativity ahead! #SamSide

[SHMS Texans Library @see_sam_read]

Today, our library honored Día de Muertos with a hands-on tech-free celebration. After exploring the elements of ofrendas, students designed alebrijes and watching Coco, embracing tradition and creativity.

Instead of a New SORA Rec, this week's rec is in honor of #HispanicHeritageMonth2024, featuring @DanetteWrites Tia Lugo Speaks No Evil!

@DrTLovesBooks @livluvlibrary My clerk and I discussed how we do this at our local branches and I just want to apologize to @irvinglibrary 🙈

[Singley Phoenix Read @SingleyReads]

Wow ... just wow. Parents, teachers, and students check out this math. Attendance isn't just about bonuses; it's about STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT! #Read2RiseUp @IrvingLibraries @Tiger_Library @SingleyAcademy @IrvingISD
