We wrapped up our March Madness Book Tournament with the winner Creepy Crayon! 🖍️ Every classroom received a hardback copy of the book 📚 The winning classroom with the most votes overall was @SweeneySESCoach class! Everyone in class received a book! 🙌🏼

It’s been super fun lately in the SES Library! Mini research challenges and games, pet research project, Who Would Win animal battle research project, and STEM challenges. Not to mention, read alouds for every class every time! 🥳📚@SmyrnaElem_TN @eaglesbookgirl

Started our March Madness Book Tournament this week. Students will be listening to the books in class and in the library and voting for their favorite in Google forms. It’s only Day 2 and I already have 366 votes during Sweet Sixteen! Way to be engaged, Eagles!

These books are lonely! On display this month are books that haven’t been checked out in years. A 5th grader chose one today and said “I’m giving this book some love!” ❤️ @eaglesbookgirl

Some fun activities and upgrades in the SES Library this month! Bookmark origami, puzzles, Epic reading app, new books, new book bins, shelving, and soft seating 🥰 @eaglesbookgirl

SES Library is ready for the new year! Students and teachers checked out 11,871 books last semester 🙌🏼📚 I bet we can beat that in Spring of ‘23! Starting off with a display of award winning titles. Let’s go! @eaglesbookgirl @SmyrnaElem_TN

We have had so much fun this semester pairing read alouds with mini STEM challenges! These are becoming my favorite lessons 🥰

@MsPowellsOwls Those two are the BEST!

This little crew makes me smile and laugh EVERY DAY. I love how A encourages E when he read the words. This is what makes me love my job! 🥰 #readingintervention

TN representative Jerry Sexton just said on the House floor, in response to being asked what would be done with the books they removed from schools - and he said: "I WOULD BURN THEM." We are not taking that out of context in any form or fashion. #censorship #bookburners

Our statement on HB2666/SB2247. This will be on the House Floor TOMORROW morning. Tell your representative to VOTE NO.
