This is a great conversation to spotlight awareness about the librarian role. There is so much more involved. Teachers cannot just take over - they have enough to deal with, and no targeted training for library programs!
So proud of my teams! We worked hard in BB Club this yr, & they stuck with it. Barber Twins ended w/ a strong 4th place, and The Petes of Mars were 1st place by one question!! πππ₯π Excellent job #avcato students!! #CISDbettertogether
Our elementary schools rewarded top @TBABooks readers with a bash! Themed activities and crafts, and pizza for lunch. We love when students learn about all the great books out there and challenge themselves to read more. #avcato
Busy week in the #avcato library! In PreK we studied reptiles. in Kinder we reviewed story sequence. In 1st we thought about food chains, and in 2nd we observed how environment changes animal behavior (hibernation). Gotta love the learning! @CISDReads
@FLFreedomRead@oneclayschools WHY would Jean-Michel Basquiat be banned?? This is a fantastic story of an artist who overcomes! And the illustrations β€οΈ
Such a great side effect of reading for fun - our Tx schools have such a great opportunity to support academic progress by selecting books (and creating activities and programs) that encourage reading for enjoyment. β€οΈπ @CISDReads
This survey is one of many that touts the benefits of reading outside the school day. We offer this information so #txlege members can have the best information in front of them when making decisions that impact school libraries and our students.

I'm so proud to be a part of public schools that consistently provide quality reading materials for each of our students. Our students deserve the right to read with equity, no matter their SES!
The public education committee of #Txlege is hearing testimony covering the process school librarians use to purchase materials. Please share/tag w/your representatives so they have accurate information when making decisions. @RightToReadTX@LuPodmore @brooke_bking @thenextgenlib
One of my goals this year: make books more accessible to 2nd G and younger!! They don't do Dewey. They need simple friendly shelving. I got these record holders and we're trying them out! Top shelf will be fill-in for the flip shelving #avcato#librarytwitter#CISD_reads
Look at those smiles and that digging! Sorry @M_Strambler we might have put some little holes in the clover, but we were learning about plants and it was so fun! Little Lions and @BRIT_org are a great pair! #CISDbettertogether#avcato
I love helping with poetry! It was fun to see how enthusiastic they were to begin writing, and expressing their knowledge about science in different ways.
We have RAFT activities in Science and poetry is a choice to write. My students were struggling so @WaserLibrarian came to help us better understand. Plus we get to enter the big poetry contest. The kids had the best time writing science poetry today!
