Weekly Voting
Thanks to @grahamlibrarian for the idea for this last year.  Thanks to the TikTok by TheJaySalazar

Questions:
-Are there more wheels than doors in this world?
-Is a hot dog a sandwich?
-Is a taco a sandwich?

Loyalty Card

Amanda Hunt (@thenextgenlib) shared her loyalty card program. I loved it.. but gave it my own spin.  I also added attending events (such as my Hot Chocolate.. and upcoming Book Fair.. or any other event that I might have.  You can find my template here  I also just printed it off in cardstock and cut it apart.

International Literacy Day-September 8th

Before school and during lunch I am also going to have a cart of books that students will be able to take to celebrate International Literacy Day.

International Literacy Day is September 8th and I am working with my RLA teachers.  I am going to go into classrooms to read Last Stop on Market Street by Matt del la Pena

We had a GREAT training before started with Maria Walther of Ramped Up Read Aloud

Dot Day
One of my favorite days is International Dot Day! Next week I am having morning events all week.  You can find my blog here

I have activities planned for every morning.. and I am also working with my Art Teacher

Since September 15th also begins Hispanic Heritage month we are going to do a lesson over the importance of making your mark (to go along with Dot Day)

I am reading The Dot by Peter Reynolds and then we are going to learn about Pedro Linares and Alebrijes.  Many Alebrijes have dots on them- so what better way to talk about making your mark, learning about an artist and also collaborating! I am going to create a Wakelet that leads students back to our premium resources about Pedro Linares.  We are then going to make our own paper Alebrijes.  We go this idea from Kathy's Art Projects- but my art teacher is creating her own.

What are you celebrating in September?  I am already planning October.. and one of them being an actual book club and some really cool collaboration!
