This looks like a really sweet book! I have so many animal lovers at my school who would fight over it.

The House with 100 Stories by Toshio Iwai is now ours & will be used w/ Ks for a design challenge. Ss will learn paper techniques to construct their own towers, w/ an outside elevator that moves. Thanks @afcea_cmd for the Kickstarter grant! #KidLit #STEMed #librarian #schoollibraries

Thanks to a AFCEA grant, I got 2 new classroom copies of Dragons Love Tacos by @rubingo.bsky.social to use with a preschool design challenge. After listening to the story, Ss will design & build a taco (not spicy of course) in case a dragon comes to visit. #TLSky #KidLit #STEMed #librarian

The Key School was awarded a $2K grant from AFCEA of Central Maryland to buy books that promote interest in STEM-related disciplines. The books will provide context for engineering design challenges & other multidisciplinary project-based units. #STEMed #makered #schoollibraries #TLSky

#ThisBookTheseReasons New (to my library col’n) #GraphicNovels 🧵 Survival Scout: Tsunami: Funny, charming, totally #scienterrific discussion/illustration of tectonic plates, etc. Great fit in with Science Comics in my GN section. 📚👍 #TLsky #SchoolLibrarians

Cover of the book mentioned, by Maxwell Eaton III. It features a cartoonish girl, go bag on back, fleeing alongside her sidekick skunk, running uphill away from a sandy beach as large waves are beginning to crash toward shore.

Of note:
The title script has Survival in stencil script and the O in Scout is made out of the dial of an orientation compass.

As part of an intro to poetry, Ss looked for rhythm, rhyme, imagery, and repetition in poems they selected from our collection. Ss then became illustrators! Next up, are music lyrics poetry? #TLSky #schoollibrarian

I love doing wild things with books like giving students the text of a picture book but letting them come up with their own illustrations before seeing the actual full picture book! If you know, you know… #sd36tl #skybrarians #surreyschools #TLSky #sd36learn #BCEd #EDUSky #BookSky

So happy with the way our windows & mirrors in books unit turned out w/ my 2nd graders. They picked a book & shared how it was a window or mirror to them. #SchoolLibraries
