Diana is starting a new adventure! She is challenging herself by changing schools, grade levels, starting on her PHD and being KISD's Library Lead.
As for me, I am enjoying growing where I am at.  Diana & I are still presenting at variety of conferences.
This school year, we are still focusing on reading initiatives & STEAM activities. I will be adding a before school STEAM Challenge once a week. We will fully roll out the STEAM Backpack circulation. In addition, we will be looking into continuing & add several new items to focus on creating a buzz about reading.
Here is our Reading Initiative items​:
*New this school year
    Events: Dr. Seuss Week; Book Fairs; March Book Madness; Book Character Parade
   
*Book Trailers: (play as class enter library for their lesson)
     Staff Emoji Poster: Elementary picture book/novel
     Summer Reading Book Bags
     *Bins in Everybody Section: Library
     *30 second teacher challenge: Book Talk
     
Battle of the Books
    *Some hall lockers: Book Spines
    *Free Book Table: Library
    *Principal’s/Staff’s recommendation shelf: Library
    *Book Drawing: for a free book (Free Book Friday)
​     Destiny book Reviews
​    Incognito Readers Club
Books and technology are both important in a Library.  Finding the balance is always hard. The Library is a place of "AWE" & "WONDER"! We are always trying to create a space our students can explore, discover & find something to engage their mind.
