This morning, students and staff celebrated our Blue Ribbon School recognition. Great planning to recognize the achievement and help every student feel a part of this special community! 🙂

We’re in the midst of Nonfiction November and before we delve into Melissa Stewart ‘s 5 Kinds of Nonfiction, we’re grounding ourselves in a better understanding between the difference in Narrative and Expository NF text. Talking with Ss about there observations here.

Our building does a staff breakfast most Fridays. Today, me and a few of my colleagues hosted. We had fruit and casseroles and I broke out my favorite pancake recipe to make a trio of options for the staff.

I love when a library lesson works with the classroom curriculum so well that teachers ask for it again the next year! We started in that lesson today. 🙂

I’m not saying this bread gifted by a second grade student wouldn’t have happened without our extensive cooking and baking book section, but I sure don’t think it hurt. 😋 🍞

Loving these new business cards from Moo where I customized the back of the card on each one with Free to Use and Reuse images from the Library of Congress. ♥️
