Bitmoji classrooms are so cute and add a little pop of fun to virtual learning! I’ve loved working on mine and hope students love seeing them! #LibraryWaves #ACESSurfsUp #DigitalLearning #VirtualClassroom #BitmojiClassroom

Overheard this week: “I’m not tech savvy so this is going to be a mess” “Technology hates me” “I’m never going to understand this” Self-depreciation is such a barrier to growth. Teachers: you CAN do this. Start small. It won’t be perfect day 1. That’s....okay. 😎

So impressed with how well our Kindergarteners have done with their interest inventories!! Now to get these books on the cart for next weeks delivery!! #ACESSurfsUp #LibraryWaves #ElementaryLibrary #VoiceandChoice

The Surf’s Up Book Huts are up and running this morning as library check-out on wheels began today!! #ACESSurfsUp #LibraryWaves #ElementaryLibrary #libraryonacart

Students in Ms.Easter’s K class were so excited to check out their first library books of the year!! #ACESSurfsUp #LibraryWaves #ElementaryLibrary #Libraryonwheels #SurfsUpBookHut

One of my favorite lessons every year is teaching Ss what an illustrator does and then learning to draw The Pigeon’s pigeon. Ss always take it to the next level by making their own books!! 💕🐦#ACESSurfsUp #LibraryWaves #Illustrators #ElementaryLibrary

Ss in 2nd are creating Non-Fiction Cheat Sheets so they can remember where to find certain books. Fairy Tales in the 300s, Animals in the 500s, Jokes in the 800s, and Anciet Egypt in the 900s were some favorites.💕📚 #ACESSurfsUp #LibraryWaves #ElementaryLibrary #DeweyDecimal

Just had a Kindergartener come up to me at checkout, and so proudly say “This is my third one!”. He’s keeping count of how many books he’s gotten from the library this year, and wants to reach 100. #ACESSurfsUp #LibraryWaves #GrowingBookLoversHere #ElementaryLibrary

This week we are celebrating National Hispanic Heritage Month in library. Ss explore the culture by clicking items in our Bitmoji classroom. One S was even moved to dance flamenco! #ACESSurfsUp #LibraryWaves #HispanicHeritageMonth #CelebratingDifferences

After Admin’s help on Friday, and me putting in some weekend hours the library will be ready for classes on Monday! #ACESSurfsUp #LibraryWaves #ElementaryLibrary #DifferentButGood

Ss are listening to Sofia Valdez, Future Prez and Grace for President then casting their vote by placing a red sticker beside their choice. The voting is on the library door so when Ss walk by they can check on how the election is going! #ACESSurfsUp #LibraryWaves #Vote

Found a #CummisElf just popping into the library!! #ACESSurfsUp #Holidayfun #AmazingAdmin #elfonthelibraryshelf Jonathan Cummins @ACES_AP

Admin going above and beyond to do #whateverittakes 🤩 @ACES_AP even did checkout so these students could get their hands on some new books! #ACESSurfsUp #Librarywaves #AwesomeAdmin

My mind has been like a ping pong ball today bouncing between creating content for Read Across America week and a fun podcast meets jam board collaboration Black History Month lesson. #ACESSurfsUp #LibraryWaves #ElementaryLibrary #SnowDay

#BlackHistoryMonth2021 in library 3rd graders listened to a podcast about Bass Reeves. He was a deputy US marshal in the Wild West who arrested around 3,000 felons. Students liked hearing that he was a master of disguise while searching for criminals. #LibraryWaves #ACESSurfsUp

#BlackHistoryMonth2021 in library 5th and 4th graders chose 1 of these 8 people, listened to a short bio, & then shared a fact they learned on a jam board. Next we will review the jam board then play a Kahoot quiz featuring these 8 amazing people. #LibraryWaves #ACESSurfsUp

Staff Wellness needs to be considered more than ever! Can’t wait to get some great ideas for support. #PBISForum

#PBISForum The burnout mantra: …burnout is about your organization, not your people. #considerthewhy #organizationalsupport

We’re not looking for the super hero teacher who can do it all, we’re looking to create a super hero system that can support the needs of our teachers and students. #PBISForum

Happy Veteran’s Day from ACES! 🇺🇸 #libraryfun
