She has teamed up with the STEM teacher on campus to bring the hands-on, real-world experience of hatching and raising chicks to students🐥 🐣! Students can observe the eggs as well as the chicks, and consult a great display in the library to learn more. Collaboration really does result in the best learning experiences for kids!

Did you know that Northside ISD librarians support the whole curriculum? These 5th graders Locke Hill Elementary NISD practiced their money counting and decimal-adding skills this week with the library store! Partners decided who was the shopper and who was the cashier. This skill is one that always needs some reinforcement, and this week that reinforcement happened because of the efforts of Locke Hill librarian, Mr. Tedesco! And of course, there was reading time, too 📚😃

The new Family Book Club brought students and their families together to read at home and gather in the library for rich discussions and hands-on crafts!

In this Biblio Bulletin, read all about the Sul Ross MS Library Bookstore run and promoted by librarian Mr. Talamantez!

"Having books in the home increases a student's access to reading and can have a meaningful impact on their success. At Ross, approximately 86% of our students are economically disadvantaged, compared with about 51% across the district. That tells me there is a real need to provide our students with access to high-interest, diverse, quality books."
