Cowart Elementary Library

For National Comic Book Day, we invited local Dallas comic book author Gabriel Hernandez and illustrator Robert Arista to host a workshop with our 4th graders! We talked about creating characters, paneling, and students showed off their own comic book creations! ❤️ @CowartDISD

These 3rd graders spent all morning preparing and practicing an interactive read aloud of Pete the Cat for my 1st grade class and it was a hit! 🥰📚✨ @CowartDISD @DISD_Libraries

On Friday, our first graders had the privilege of a virtual illustrator visit from @Anaranda2 🦋✨ Thank you so much for taking the time to talk with our kiddos!

Another Friday, another amazing Book Buddies session! 📚💜 @DISD_Libraries @CowartDISD

Feeling so special and loved this School Librarian Appreciation Day 💜🥹✨

Turning pages into prizes 📚✨Students earn stickers for returning books on time—and every 9 weeks, they shop the Library Store for fun rewards like prizes and coupons (lunch in the library is a favorite!💛) @DISD_Libraries @CowartDISD

The cutest Cowart panthers caught reading! 🐾📚💜 @CowartDISD

We had the absolute pleasure of hosting student athletes from Molina High School to read to our younger students! ❤️ @DISD_Libraries @CowartDISD
