Our November Choice Board For Reading, Learning, Making, Coding, and More Is Here!

                            

It's here!  Our November Choice Board where reading, learning, making, coding, technology and music can take you on adventures all month long. 

This month, the choice board is filled with so many new and exciting things!  I can't wait to share it with our students, teachers and families, and all of you. 

Within the monthly choice board, I do include other choice boards and links to special events and celebrations. 

This year,  I am including the amazing Aqua by Adobe under Making.  

This is a wonderful new site where our students can create and explore in so many different creative and fun experiences. 

I added the Harvest Harbor and...

,,,my new favorite, Collage Coast.  This one is sooooo cool!  You have to check it out here, friends. 

I also added one of my special collections in Epic for Kids.  You can find it here too...or make your own and add it to your choice board. 

I create most of my choice boards in Google Slides and Canva. With each choice board in Google Slides, I share this with our students and teachers by publishing it to the web. 

In the image above, you can see how to do this by clicking on Share and Publish to the Web. 

The Publish to the Web window pops up that will direct you to publish to the web. It will give you a link that you will copy to share with students and teachers through Google Classroom, Seesaw and any other place you want to share this like social media and through QR codes. 

I also explain how I create and share choice board posters each month in this post. 

This is the copyable link to the 2026 November Choice Board.  Please feel free to use the choice board with your community and make changes to fit the needs of your learners and teachers. 

Please let me know if you have any questions or need help sharing and creating choice boards.  

I hope the monthly and special choice boards will give you and your students special opportunities for reading, learning, creating, collaborating and having fun all year long.  

You've Been Book'd With Books For Dia De Muertos-Day of the Dead On November 1-2!

                  

We celebrate Día de Muertos—Day of the Dead, a beautiful and meaningful holiday that honors loved ones who have passed away, on November 1-2. This tradition, deeply rooted in Mexican culture, is filled with vibrant colors, decorated altars, marigolds, music, food, and storytelling that keep memories alive from generation to generation.

To help our readers learn more about this special celebration, I’ve brought together a collection of 10 wonderful books that share the history, traditions, and stories of Día de Muertos. These books are perfect for sparking conversations at school and at home, while also giving young readers a chance to explore the importance of family, culture, and remembrance.

You will find the choice board here. Click on the book covers to find the books in Follett Content's Titlewave. You will find the entire list linked in the choice board too.

The Story Squad from the Book Wrangler Came To Our New Library!

 

Today, Eric and I hung up the rest of our Story Squad in our new library. 

The Story Squad is created by Mike, The Book Wrangler!  You can find the Story Squad at his Linktree on his Instagram here. Everything that he creates is amazing and we love bringing his creations to our library and readers. 

I picked 22 of the Story Squad characters to hang in our library above the nonfiction and tonies® neighborhoods.  

I printed them on 11 x 17 paper on the colored printer at school and put them into these metal frames that we ordered from Amazon. I just cut off 1 inch on one side to fit the frames. 

Eric hung them up in two rows and used....

...this fancy laser level to make it super easy to hang them in two straight rows. 

I am waiting for the last two frames but look how cute our Story Squad is so far!  

Our readers will love seeing all of them when they come to the library tomorrow. 

Thank you, Mike for everything you create and share with all of us. We appreciate it so very much, friend.
