Dear Dino Readers, We love you and we miss you!! Stay healthy, keep reading, and keep smiling! Love, everyone at EES
Happy School Library Month!! Even though most of us are at home, there are still so many ways to use your school library to wonder and explore! Check out @writingmatthew and @drawingrobbi reading this book on their YouTube channel. youtube.com/watch?v=Qkqwm7N0… #dinoreaders
We are so excited to kick off Battle of the Books and see Matthew Swanson and Robbie Behr at Eldersburg tonight! Our library, @LibraryCCPL, and A Likely Story bookstore, @SykesvilleBooks, are the absolute best at providing amazing programs for readers!
Book tasting success - Students were back in the Media Center this morning to check out the books they tasted yesterday! #dinoreaders
We kicked off Read Across America week at EES on Monday with a book tasting. Every student came to our Media Center Dino Cafe to taste books from different genres and in different formats. The students were full of new books when they left the cafe.
I was so excited to kick off our 2020 Dino Readers yesterday by handing out 450 books! Our whole school is reading Frindle by Andrew Clements. I can't wait to hear the bookish conversations!! #dinoreaders
Inspired by A Plump and Perky Turkey by Teresa Bateman, our artsy craftsy teachers made some turkey art. The students voted for their favorite and each turkey is going home for Thanksgiving with a lucky student!
Inspired by Balloons over Broadway by Melissa Sweet, our second graders used their STEM skills to build balloons and have our very own parade! #dinoreaders
Given the choice to go to lunch with their friends or listen to a story, almost half of our 5th graders chose to listen to this story while eating. Listen and Lunch was so much fun this week thanks to @LDHarkrader's Crumbled!
It's National Kindness Day! We celebrated all day with kind acts, kind words, kind smiles, and cardigans!! Kindness matters!
Our Dino Readers have been browsing the Book Fair and making wish lists. There are so many great books this year! We are open for buying all next week during the school day. Our Family event is Tuesday, 10/29 from 2:15 - 7:00 pm. Mark your calendars! We hope to see you there!
Way to go #DinoReaders!! We celebrated our students that completed the Summer Discovery program at @LibraryCCPL last week! Everyone got a brand new book so they can keep reading!!
Anne Shirley is so glad she lives in a world where there are Octobers and I am so glad I work in a library where there are two new adaptations of Anne of Green Gables.
As a way to incorporate more read alouds with 5th grade students, we had our inaugural Listen and Lunch this week. Students signed up to listen to "The Season of Styx Malone" by @KeklaMagoon while they ate lunch. Our conversation was fabulous and I can't wait to meet again!
Ms. Angie from the Eldersburg branch of @LibraryCCPL introduced the new Battle of the Books titles to our 4th and 5th grade students today. The books are amazing! The students are already excited to start preparing for our battle in April 2020!
We were so excited to welcome Jon Agee back to EES! He inspired our primary authors and illustrators to keep telling great stories!
It is always an exciting day in the library when the Book Fair Planning Kit arrives!! 36 days until the Book Fair arrives at EES!
