You are welcome! I always love sending them home with something that makes them excited!

Thanks to Aisling Fowler for rescheduling and meeting with #avcato 5th grade! They had such interesting questions for her and are excited to read book 1! Better go ahead and preorder book 2 I think 😁 #wrad2023 #BetterLateThanNever #CISDbettertogether

Little Lions had our special guest from @BRIT_org yesterday ❤️ we love learning about science 🌰🌱🌳🍎 🎵 and enjoying time together! Thank you Bella! #avcato #CISDbettertogether

These little lions 🤩 Today we read One Snowy Morning by Kevin Tseng (even though it was 80🌡️) and built snowmen! My friends knew where to put the accessories, unlike those silly squirrels! ⛄🐿️ Join us- Tues storytime, ages 0-4 #avcato #CISDbettertogether

We always need to think critically about our collections, including what to add to make our students feel accepted and included. I'm thankful we have some of these elementary titles! Our students love books where characters look like them!

#Castleberryisd invites everyone to celebrate #ReadAcrossAmerica all week! Reading is awesome, healthy, and makes everyone smarter 🧠. Follow along and engage with Castleberry ISD and Castleberry ISD Libraries. 📚 #AVCato #CERoars #JoyJames #IMMSLions #CHS_Lions #cisdbettertogether

This should be fun... Do you choose a book by its cover? Author? That bright "NEW" sticker on the front? Follow for more questions as we celebrate Read Across America this week! #avcato #judgeabookbywhat

Huge shout-out to Janice Shields for keeping the library running - fresh repairs, processing, shelving, pulling holds, hunting down lost books and fines, assisting classes with checkout, prepping supplies, collection maintenance... You're the best! #avcato

Little Lions have fun learning about seasons! Caught a quick pic on our way out 😁 next week is our special guest at 2pm! Join us on Tuesdays for storytime fun! #avcato

Our PreK and Kinder students at #avcato had a blast reading with Andrea Denish LOVES writing - thank you Andrea! Everyone loves a parade... Except when it's time to clean up 😅🥳 #readacrossamerica #CISD_reads

I love helping with poetry! It was fun to see how enthusiastic they were to begin writing, and expressing their knowledge about science in different ways.

Look at those smiles and that digging! Sorry M. Michelle Strambler we might have put some little holes in the clover, but we were learning about plants and it was so fun! Little Lions and @BRIT_org are a great pair! #CISDbettertogether #avcato

One of my goals this year: make books more accessible to 2nd G and younger!! They don't do Dewey. They need simple friendly shelving. I got these record holders and we're trying them out! Top shelf will be fill-in for the flip shelving #avcato #librarytwitter #CISD_reads

I'm so proud to be a part of public schools that consistently provide quality reading materials for each of our students. Our students deserve the right to read with equity, no matter their SES!

Such a great side effect of reading for fun - our Tx schools have such a great opportunity to support academic progress by selecting books (and creating activities and programs) that encourage reading for enjoyment. ❤️📚 Castleberry ISD Libraries

Busy week in the #avcato library! In PreK we studied reptiles. in Kinder we reviewed story sequence. In 1st we thought about food chains, and in 2nd we observed how environment changes animal behavior (hibernation). Gotta love the learning! Castleberry ISD Libraries

Our elementary schools rewarded top TX Bluebonnet Award readers with a bash! Themed activities and crafts, and pizza for lunch. We love when students learn about all the great books out there and challenge themselves to read more. #avcato

So proud of my teams! We worked hard in BB Club this yr, & they stuck with it. Barber Twins ended w/ a strong 4th place, and The Petes of Mars were 1st place by one question!! 🎉🏆🥇🎉 Excellent job #avcato students!! #CISDbettertogether

This is a great conversation to spotlight awareness about the librarian role. There is so much more involved. Teachers cannot just take over - they have enough to deal with, and no targeted training for library programs!

We made it to Montana! The view is pretty terrible 🤪
