We had a great institute meeting today TJPatriotpride! It was my first day as #mediaspecialist and the staff was so welcoming! I used inspiration from Anne Kasa 🦋 calm kits to make some for staff with touch of humor 😁 Thanks Canva for Education for making it so easy to make the designs!

So excited to be at TJPatriotpride as their brand new media specialist on this first day with students! Happy new year Plainfield Community Consolidated SD 202 staff and families! #BackToSchool2024

Had an amazing day introducing myself to students at my new school by reading We Don’t Eat Our Classmates Ryan T. Higgins using Novel Effect 📚🎶. To say they loved it is an understatement! I was able to meet all K, 1, 2 and 3 students! TJPatriotpride #mediaspecialist #read #books

Finished another Bluestem Award #bluestem2025 today, Garlic and the Vampire Bree Paulsen 🦋✨ I can’t wait to share this #graphicnovel with students that visit my library! The story is sweet and spooky, and I love the character Garlic, she’s my favorite!

Finished another Bluestem Award #bluestem2025, Odder Katherine Applegate and wow, I loved this book so much! The way facts were woven into this heartwarming story was masterful, and I learned so much about otters! Def will be recommending to students #kidlit #mslit #BookRecommendations

Whenever I read to a child, I do so with the belief that I am bringing them the most magical, precious gift. Why? Because I truly believe that it is. (art by naoko stoop)

Just Right Jillian Nicole Collier is such a sweet and real story about a 5th grader trying to find her voice - both literally and figuratively! Students will find a lot to relate to and love Jillian and her family, I cannot wait to book talk this Bluestem Award #bluestem2025

I finally started compiling all of my book reviews on one Wakelet 💙, something I’ve wanted to do for years! Love that I can upload my TikTok book talks as videos so my TJPatriotpride students can see them! #mslit #kidlit Miss Bruno's Book Recommendations wakelet.com/wake/2dhJyRVkL…

Had a great day in the #mediacenter today! I read What to Do With an Idea to 4th Grade and we used the Carly And Adam #STEM paper airplane activity. For 5th grade I read Where Are You From? Yamile ⭐️⭐️⭐️🇦🇷. Students made Lego glasses to represent themselves & posted on Padlet.

We had our first coding club TJPatriotpride yesterday and it was a great success! I love the new structure of the Google for Education #csfirst and Scratch Team lessons, it made it so easy for students to work at their own pace. #coding #edtech

This week in the TJPatriotpride #mediacenter I have been reading Alma and How She Got Her Name Juana Martínez to Kinder and 1st grade. Then students used a variety of materials to make their name - they did an excellent job! The Novel Effect 📚🎶 soundscape was so sweet 🥹 #library

I read Eraser Anna Kang to 3rd grade this week in the TJPatriotpride #mediacenter, & we chatted about teamwork and kindness. Students then wrote team inspired words on index cards and worked together to build a tower. Thanks Carly And Adam for another great lesson! #library
