It's my favorite time of year...SP👻👻KY season!! MPS readers, be on the lookout for some brand new Halloween books coming your way!!

You know it's going to be a beautiful day when you see this outside of your school!!! 3 more days, MPS/MES readers!! Parents, be sure to load up your child's eWallet at bookfairs.scholastic.com/bookfairs/pare… if they plan to shop during their media block. MES Reads

It's punkin chunkin time! This lesson never fails. We learned about the annual competition, how levers work, and created a catapult to launch a "pumpkin". This year we added a little computational thinking to the lesson by arranging directions in an order that makes sense.

Another great day for access for our MPS readers! So long rooting through disheveled bookcases...say hello to intentional browsing! Eager to see how this boosts circulation once all of our non fiction books get thier new placements!! Thanks for the inspo FCPS_TuESReads

"Ooo look at this one, this one looks so good" A fresh shipment of high interest early readers and chapter books calls for a book tasting! Thanks to amazing @fcpsmedia enhancement funds, we have a great mix of genres to build hype with all kinds of readers!

I don’t know about you, but at MPS we have ROCKSTARS in our Kindergarten! Come and check them out at 6:30pm tonight at MPS! KINDERGARTEN ROCKS! 🎶🎶🎼🎵🎤

Long and strong writing in the media center makes my teacher heart 💓 We have many choices during the media block yet theses 2nd graders CHOSE to write today and the library was buzzing with lots of problem solving convos! 🍀 🌈

These 1st graders are WILD! Wild for animals! Wish them luck as they perform their first grade show today at 6:30pm! 🎶🎶🎶🎼🎤

From books & reading nooks to maker spaces & digital resources, school libraries help students learn, grow, & expand their horizons. This week especially, we celebrate school libraries for what they should be: Worlds of unlimited educational possibility. #NationalLibraryWeek

"Some things are best saved as memories" This week's read aloud with our incredible 2nd graders--who will soon be moving on to "the big school." Taking time to just sit and talk about our year with our classmates 🧡🖤🤍

Pumpkin Jack is in full swing 🎃 A classic read. Ks found information about how a pumpkin grows from Scholastic #WatchAndLearnlibrary then asked questions about our own Pumpkin Jack. Maybe we'll have something new to plant next year! 🤞🏻

Did you know?

How do you keep students engaged during the weeks leading up to winter break? Uh, robots, of course! 🤖

This graduating class of 2nd graders have been so special to me for many many reasons. I hope they take good care of these babies from our MPS library--read to them every day! As a parting gift from me to you, MPS 2nd graders....you are readers! You are amazing 🧡🖤
