Last week, I facilitated a US Holocaust Museum gallery walk with Mrs. Walker’s 8th graders. Students placed victim biography cards on an interactive timeline of laws, decrees, & key historical events—deepening their understanding before crafting an extended constructed response.

📐🔐 Created math escape rooms targeting our campus’s lowest TEKS—not bad for someone who never taught math! Just another way librarians can be versatile instructional partners in every content area! #SeeSamRead IISD Libraries

Celebrated #DotDay with Mrs. Walker’s classes. Complete the drawing activities are a favorite that fosters creativity and critical thinking!
