Second and Third Grade Reading Adventure Night

Twenty one years ago, I planned a Reading Adventure Night for 1 credit hour toward my Master's Degree. Every year since I have planned and pulled off a night attended by over 100 kiddos. I have tons of support from Mrs. Haynes and the staff, administration and PTA of Lewis and Clark...couldn't do it without them. From 4:00-7:30pm kids have a snack, travel to four activity rooms, listen to our favorite storyteller, Mr. Haynes, and have pizza for dinner. Check out our photos from this year's event...

Dash Fashion Show

Earlier this Spring, my 2nd graders added a little creative flair to our robotics unit...we decked Dash out in the latest fashions! The kids put their designs on paper, created patterns out of newspaper, and then worked on their final projects. What a fun way to end our robotics study.

Adopt A Shelf

Each year the members of our Page Turner's book club adopt a shelf to take care of throughout the year. The kids pick a shelf and we take a "shelfie" and post their photo on the shelf they claimed. This group REALLY helps keep the shelves organized and looking good. Plus each student gets to highlight the books from their shelf.
Here are a few of our "shelfies".

The Making Of An Elementary MakerSpace

So much has happened at Lewis and Clark since the end of May. The library received a grant from the Liberty School District Foundation in the amount of nearly $8,000.00 to be spent on creating a MakerSpace. Since being awarded that grant, my brain has not shut off. I have been busy planning for great experiences, purchasing materials, and getting donations for our MakerSpace!
I knew that we needed a MakerSpace when I didn't have the resources my students needed and wanted during Genius Hour.
Our MakerSpace will be located in the reading resource room in the library. It will be very easy to access everything we need when we need it! This is what the room has looked like at various stages during the summer months.

Mrs. Carey and I relocated all the books in the picture below and our fabulous custodial staff has cleared out everything else.

I was fortunate to find 3 shelves hanging around storage closets that will now be used in the space. Thanks to Mrs. Carey for uncover…
