LIBRARY LAB: Cooking Club Deliciously Fun!

Our cooks had a delicious time making microwave mug pizza yesterday! We learned a lot about cooking & table manners. Mrs. Peyton & I were so excited to have our wonderful grown up helpers, Mrs. MacMillan, Mrs. Stevenson, Ms. Erben & Mrs. San Miguel (with baby Charlie!) 

Great job, Eagles! Can't wait to see what we cook up next!

Using Plickers in Grammar Lessons

Ms. Velasquez and I collaborated on a lesson today using Plickers to teach kids about adding -ing to verbs. Sometimes they're tricky with silent -e's and double consonants! Our kids did great! Check out my tweet for more information.

Forest North Comic Book Club Convention

We had the best time in Comic Book Club today learning from industry professionals! Mrs. Rapé, our Forest North Office Specialist, used to be a comic book inker! Mrs. Lajaunie, who used to work at Forest North, now owns local comic shop Titan Moon! They gave us all kinds of interesting information! Check out the video on my tweet.

Forest North Library Statistics for January

Texas Bluebonnet Award 2017 Voting Party

It is a unique privilege in my life to observe our students as they discover their love of reading. Our amazing students read 1,716 Texas Bluebonnet Award nominated books - that's an average of 11 books per student! 

Thank you so much to everyone who helped support our students in this endeavor, from spending your lunch reading a book to student/s, braving the chocolate fountain and/or the party in general, touching base with students, celebrating their successes, and bottom-line, making sure every student who wants to succeed does! For many students, this is one of their first experiences setting and meeting long-term goals, and modeling this process is so helpful to them! The students were so excited and proud to be there Friday. 

Our marvelous 5th grade classes were wonderful role models for the younger grades, and they were truly safe, respectful and responsible. Props also to 3rd & 4th grade teams for making sure every single one of their students qualified for the party- even ones who started after winter break!

I'm so proud to be a Forest North Eagle, and so lucky to have all of you support our students.
