#FieldDay #DunkTank Brumfield Elementary It was COLD!🥶

These 5th graders were so proud of their tree creation. Thank you Brain Flakes for these awesome STEM materials.

So proud of our Brumfield Elementary for working hard this year doing Kid Power brain breaks I. The Library. They earned 57 RUTFs (peanut paste packs) and 1263 coins for local causes. Way to give back!

Love learning alongside the students. THE PEACE TREE FROM HIROSHIMA is a great story about a 400 yr old peace tree/bonsai at the National Arboretum gifted by Japan. 5th graders did such a great job with the directed drawing!

Today was our 1st Puzzle Pals session and it was AMAZING! 16 students in 3rd-5th grade Brumfield Elementary arrived before school to enjoy time together completing puzzles. Can’t wait for the next session!

Thank you Jerry Craft for making me feel like a celebrity today! Walked into a 5th grade class Brumfield Elementary & showed my signed “Team J” card from the Library of Congress #NationalBookFestival Then I presented Chase with his card. #LibrarianJoy 📚 (Shared with permission.)

Met EB & CK Mackie at the American Library Association Conference in July. They were SO kind to send a B&W copy of the giraffe page b/c that’s our mascot. Building community @jgb_giraffe by sharing this beautiful book & having K/1/2 students create their own abstract 🦒 Amazing work by all!

Building community & focusing on our House system @jgb_giraffes. Shared BE A TREE with 3rd/4th/5th graders and then they created buttons for their House: Baobab 🟣 Oak 🔴 Olive 🟢 Willow 🔵 Let’s all act like trees and protect each other! 🌳

Had our 1st school-wide virtual author visit for 450+ students & staff in K-5 and it was AMAZING! Wonderful hearing Canadian author Lindsay Zier-Vogel share her book DEAR STREET. She was energetic, funny, kind & informative - AWESOME! Excited to kick off a school writing project! ✏️ 📄
