Our term ended today, so it's time for some quick statistics about our first nine weeks of school! Thanks to Canva, it's easy to create colorful, detailed posters--like this one that highlights some of the things going on in the library since August:


Here's to the second term! More good things to come!

Wrapping up National Hispanic Heritage Month

September 15 - October 15 is traditionally celebrated as National Hispanic Heritage Month. In the past, library displays and advisory activities have helped introduce students to the people, culture, history, places, and more related to this month of recognition. (You can read an earlier blog post HERE.)

Several books in the library feature Hispanic characters or are written by Hispanic authors--you can see a few of them below:

Reading and Book Memes

Today's advisory offering was inspired by other work students completed for a science teacher--memes! Students had access to a 1-pager with directions, and then the creating, fun, and laughing began!


Students visited a free meme generating website and started working from there. So much fun conversations about their reading and the books or characters they had in mind when creating their memes. Even some book recommendations among classmates!


A few examples that generated a few laughs:



Students often created several memes in the time we had together, and with so many clever examples, it was time to update the gallery wall display with their work.
