These 3rd grade #hatchtigers have been working very hard to memorize a poem for poetry month! Today they became traveling poets and traveled around the building to recite their poems… they were brave and enthusiastic and we had so much fun. 🥰😍#myd97 #oakpark97

@ArtWithMrsRuff Aw thanks @ArtWithMrsRuff !

Big week for the Hatch Library! Amazing author and illustrator @JacobGrantBooks visited our youngest #hatchtigers and taught us how to draw some of his amazing characters. 🥰❤️#myd97 #oakpark97

Hatch School Library March Madness: #Hatchtigers read and vote. On to the final four! BOOKS ALWAYS WIN. #myd97 #oakpark97

We read the amazing book, #Crossings, learned about all the coolest animal crossings around the world, & built our own crossings! These 1st grade #hatchtigers love to save the habitats of endangered animals w/their amazing architectural skills. 🥰 #myd97 #oakpark97 @lkbrummell

Celebrating black history month at The Hatch Library with some #hatchtiger book favorites…the “windows and mirrors” for all our kids! #myd97 #oakpark97

#Hatchtigers have been puzzling and completing a @byStickTogether poster in the Hatch library this week, bringing us into 2023 with new sides of our brain 🧠 activated. #myd97 #oakpark97

Today in the library 4Q did some coding and earned a shout out for their amazing library behavior. Way to go #hatchtigers ! #myd97 #oakpark97

What an amazing turn out for our pajama story time this week… so many #hatchtigers ! Thank you to @ArtWithMrsRuff, Ms. Valle, Ms. Awe, and @MrsChrystall for reading such fun books to the crowds! #myd97 #oakpark97

Another successful Hatch Reading Olympics! Congratulations to our 5th grade #hatchtigers, Team OLM, who will be competing in the regional competition this upcoming Tuesday. Special thanks to my lovely media assistant who did so much behind-the-scenes work. #myd97 #oakpark97

A wonderful #hatchtiger mom and grandma made these beautiful curtains for the library! LOVE THEM. They match so well with the benches, and now all off-limit items can be hidden away for distraction-free lesson times. #myd97 #oakpark97

In 4th grade today, the #hatchtigers read a variety of picture book biographies in small groups and built a picture of their famous person’s accomplishments using legos. #STEM #myd97 #oakpark97

What a fun day!

@creativelychrys @kellybarnhill That would be amazing ! We have about 30 3rd-5th graders, and we love your book. ❤️

We had our first meeting of the Well Read Tiger book club today! These #hatchtigers loved reading The Ogress and The Orphans by @kellybarnhill and had lots of interesting thoughts to share. Next month we will be reading Take Back the Block by @creativelychrys. #myd97 #oakpark97

Thank you, @D97HatchLibrary for the read aloud for #HispanicHeritageMonth

3rd grade #hatchtigers spun the library prize wheel after earning ten library points (for doing such an excellent job following expectations!), and we had a dance party! Who knew the library can also be an amazing dance floor ?! #myd97 #oakpark97
