Join Us Next Week For Our Follett Content Webinar On June 17th...Weed, Order, Refresh: School Library Collection Development For Fall!

Friends, I would love to invite you to our upcoming Follett Content webinar next week on June 17th, Weed, Order, Refresh: School Library Collection Development For Fall. 

As shared online, 

While the hallways are quiet, join Shannon McClintock Miller for a hands-on webinar designed to help you audit your collection, make confident weeding decisions, and build an ordering strategy that sets students and teachers up for success on day one.

This year, Shannon isn't just teaching it, she's living it. As she moves her library into a brand-new space, she's bringing real-time, firsthand experience to every strategy she shares.

You can register here for our webinar.  

Summer is your season, school librarians! We can't wait to see you there on June 17th.

Many Faces, One Community: A Collaborative Mural Where Every Story and Voice Matters!

 

I love dreaming up new ways that our community can connect. 

When I saw this idea for creating a community mural of our faces, I knew we had to do this at our school to kick off the year. 

Like in this video, I wanted to create a big mural for all of our students and teachers to have a place to share a tiny self portrait of themselves...a place to make their mark. 
Today, I created a giant mural in Canva.  I made it 36 x 75 inches.  I will print three of them to have room for all of our students and teachers.  
I made one that said, Many Faces, One Community.  Every Students. Every Story, Every Voice Matters.
And one for Dot Day, which is September 15ish every year.  

You will find the Canva template here where you can use or make a copy to adjust for you and your community. 

I can't wait to do this with our community as we kick off a new year, and a new library, Makerspace, STEM and art room in the fall. It's going to be such a special collaborative project and one that our everyone will love.
