Mrs. Breen showed our K students from Mrs. DellaVecchia’s class how to candle chicken eggs. We can’t wait until our eggs hatch!

First graders at Brookside worked together and built their very own reading tents just like in Goldie Socks and the Three Libearians! They did a lesson on finding a just right book using the 5 finger rule. How cozy and “just right!”

Happy National Library Week! Even though the doors are closed, the heart remains. Reach out if you need help finding books or other materials, need research or technology help, want book recs, or just want to say hi! Missing you all! @ala @YHSLibrarian @FutureSchLib

Teacher friends: our world has been flipped upside down & we’re a tad busy 🙃🤪 If you’re using Zoom to connect with Ss, go through your settings! It takes some time. Here’s my cheat sheet to get you started (but be sure to check out Zoom’s resources too). We got this! 🙌🤓🎥

For all you folks stuck at home in the coming weeks. from Monday, at 6pm GMT / 2pm EST / 11am PST I will be reading one of my books every weekday, and talking about some of the things that went into making it. We are all at home, but none of us are alone. Let’s be bored together.
