KHMS Library Flight Plan

February Makerspace
Coming Soon... Black History Makerspace Activites
What is Makerspace?
Our library makerspace is open on Wednesday before school and during all lunches/advisory sessions. Students must sign up for an activity in advance. If they want to come during advisory, they must get a pass from the library in advance and have their advisory teacher sign it. You are not required to release them from advisory, since they have other options to attend.
We have grown from a group of less than 10 in December, to 60 students signed up for our Valentine sessions. You are invited to join us. If you see something you like, we can even discuss scheduling a session with your classes.
Donations are always needed - beads, Legos, pipe cleaners, duct tape, craft kits, batteries, yarn, etc... If you have anything leftover or unused at home, we might be able to use it.

Field Trip Opportunity - - - Library Palooza
Have you ever met a real-life author?
Judson ISD librarians are hosting a bus for Library Palooza on Saturday, Feb. 26. Please view this video (Links to an external site.) and check out the website (Links to an external site.) to see if you might be interested. If you think you'd like to go, let Mrs. Howk know. Students and staff are invited to join us.
TECH TIPS
Research Resources that are Easy to Cite - Repeat Reminder
Students need to get in the habit of citing where they get their information & if all they need to do is cut and paste... they are more likely to do it! Let me know if you'd like to schedule a mini lesson on citations for your class - this is applicable to a wide variety of subject areas. I'm also willing to create a flipped video for you to share in class, let's chat!
