Did you like my little play on Dr. Seuss? I need to get better at blogging more than once a month! Of course this busy bee has been busy with everything! Destination ImagiNation season just ended. I had the 3rd grade team.. we stayed busy and I hope they had a good time (I know I did!)
This being my first year I haven't done the greatest at displays.. so I am trying to change that! I am very thankful for Teachers Pay Teachers right now. (I am not getting paid anything to promote these items, but I wanted to share what I used and where I found it)
Here was my Black History Month bulletin board for February.
For March, I found some great resources for posters on Teachers Pay Teachers.
I found several great sets on Teachers Pay Teachers and put them into a book that is next to the display. You can find them
here and
here.
During the month of February I wasn't able to schedule a Late Night in the Library, but I did have a modified Late Night in the Library during Open House. Even better it was Read Across America Day. I purchased all of my library helpers a shirt that said Elliott Librarian Helper I Am. They practice reading to students and each had a classroom to read to. We had to reschedule our reading time to this week (they were really bummed.. but I think they will live)
During Open House I had a photo booth station set up with the theme Oh The Places You Will Go and of course I had a STEM challenge set up. I loved this idea of
Cat in the Hat Cup Stacking. Easy peasy set up and clean up! Now, I have to admit I think the parents had more fun doing this than the kids (and I might admit.. there was some standing on tables and chairs.. and some parents put their kids on their back) I LOVED IT!! They measured and recorded how tall their tower was. I love seeing the parents work with their kids. It is my favorite part of Late Night in the Library

How did you celebrate Read Across America? What do you do for displays and how often do you change them out? I will blog again soon about the different lessons that have been going on in the library (4th and 5th grade Drama, LIFE text features, 2nd grade Nouns and so much more!)
