JK Library
October 2016
All in one month!
Greetings JK parents, staff, and students! We have had a busy month in the library! We had a very successful month with MakerSpace activities, technology lessons, and our Storybook Pumpkin Patch! Check out what we've done and see all of the pumpkins in our Pumpkin Patch in the video below!
Kick Off to Pumpkin Patch
Ms. Sanchez presented her "Rabbit" pumpkin to encourage students to participate in the Pumpkin Patch.
She was excited to create a rabbit, because she loves being a JK Jack Rabbit!
Kinder MakerSpace
Students learned about spiders using PebbleGo, a library digital resource, and designed a GIANT web to catch insects.
They problem-solved to make a web that would keep their spider tummies full!
2nd Grade MakerSpace
We read Leonardo the Terrible Monster by Mo Willems, discussed the plot and characters, then created our own monsters in MakerSpace using paper scraps!
Students created masterpieces! They were all unique!
Free Ebooks!
3rd, 4th, and 5th graders learned how to check-out ebooks. We have so many students reading ebooks; we are among the top 10 NEISD schools with the highest number of checkouts on OverDrive! We love technology!
Did you know...parents can checkout books and ebooks too!?! Stop by the library to sign-up for a free account!
110 Storybook Pumpkins Submitted!
2016 JK Pumpkin Patch
We are so proud of you!
The library was filled with pumpkins! We were so happy to see the pumpkin creations and read all about the characters. Our students worked so hard! Each student who submitted a pumpkin was rewarded with an October-themed pencil, free meal, and a shiny ribbon!
