This six weeks, Cougars continued to strengthen their reading and writing skills. We also got the chance to put our critical thinking skills to use by reading excerpts of spooky stories and matching them with their covers. @IrvingLibraries

We've been busy, and not just with moving in! 📚 From library orientation and book tastings to writing and speaking practice with our EB students, Crockett Cougars are already making the most of our library. @IrvingLibraries
To say I’m excited about the new library is an understatement. Sitting in the middle of everything, I’m thrilled to make @Crockett_MS ‘s library THE place to collaborate, learn, and grow! 🤩
Busy six weeks at the library! 📚
From spooky book highlights and research stations to inferences escape rooms and Beanstack prizes, students have been learning, reading, and having fun!
Plus—new books, fresh resources, and Mental Health First Aid training ✅ @IrvingLibraries
Supporting strong writing from the ground up! Today’s SCR Writing Workshop gave students hands-on practice in crafting focused, evidence based responses. I can’t wait to see their essays next week!
Today was full of practicing inferencing with Ms. Waldie’s 7th grade students & how to develop research good questions in Eng 1 with Gale.
