Someone left this in my mailbox today - love it! 😂

Mrs. Hubschmitt's PreK is learning about pets. We discussed which animals make good pets and then rotated through animal themed centers! Making animal letters from PlayDoh, building shelters for pets, and tangram puzzles of animal silhouettes. So fun!

2nd graders are loving our Book Creator app! They came in for a mini tutorial and then hands-on experience. They were all engaged and excited to use it! This will be great for their nonfiction books. Book Creator Team

Our K students have been learning about taking care of the Earth! We read The Earth Book by Todd Parr, listened to songs, and thought of different ways to help our planet. Their drawings and labels were 👌! We ❤️ 🌎 at VDV! #allin4theville

What is there to say other than... I'm very grateful for the opportunity to be a school librarian! It truly is such a rewarding job. #NationalLibrarianDay #librarians #LibraryLife #NationalLibraryMonth #SchoolLibrarian Gerard Foley Somerville High School Somerville NJ Schools

Ms. Kraly's class came in for an Earth day discussion this week. We planned ways to help the Earth and then did a VDV cleanup as a way of giving back! 🌎 ❤️ #allin4theville

3rd graders enjoyed exploring our biography section and PebbleGo Next app to browse a wide variety of people to research. Loved seeing the people they chose!

It's gonna be Mayyyy! 😆 so many fun picks this month! I made a "last chance" book display to see if I can encourage students to browse and read some older titles in our collection. We'll see! #allin4theville

Some post testing SEL activities for a 4th grade class today! ❤️ self care is so important! #allim4theville

Loved this little firefly Mother's Day craft for Mrs. Porter's class! 💐 - Ss also completed dot art, and we read Llama Llama, Home with Mama ❤️

We read The Mixed Up Chameleon by Eric Carle and then explored colors with tissue paper and water to make our own mixed up chameleons. They came out great! #allin4theville

So excited to unbox our new books and prep them for the upcoming school year! Thankful for all the support from our Somerville NJ PTO to make this happen! 📚 😍

I love partnering with our Somerville Public Library to get students hyped up about Summer Reading. Mary and Kirsten are awesome! ✨️ 📚 ✨️ SCLSNJ #allin4theVille

2nd Graders kicked the year off with a Library Scavenger Hunt! They got to explore new areas of our library and familiarize themselves with the locations of various genres. They had a blast working together! #allin4theville

I am focusing on fall themes with Mrs. Porter's students this month - we make it fun by learning through songs, using hands-on models, and creating art! #allin4theville

These Kindergarteners were loving their book choices! So fun watching them interact and discussing different things! #allin4theville

Back in action at our VDV Library! Books are flying off the shelves which makes my librarian heart very happy ❤️ We're reviewing library expectations and procedures so students can fully enjoy their VDV library experience! #allin4theville
