Sara First - Librarian

We had a wonderful Read Across America Day last Thursday with guest readers from the community! We're so thankful to @RollinGrizzlies @MEM_Library @BCSSup @BARTLETTPOLICE @BartlettFire & more who came to read with our students. @EllendaleSchool @MichelleSBardos

Thank you so much for coming @BARTLETTPOLICE ! The kids are still talking about it today :)

We loved having him read today! Thank you so much for your service to @EllendaleSchool and @BartlettSchools 💙💛

Such a special author visit! Our students loved spending the day with @boltcity 💙💛 Thank you to @EllendaleLib for planning this memorable event!

@boltcity Thank you so much for coming! We're still floating from the excitement!

Had a great time speaking at Ellendale Elementary today. Signed these Amulet boxsets for the students!

Kids are still stopping by to share what they loved most about meeting Kazu Kibuishi yesterday, "I'll remember it forever!" Thank you @boltcity! @EllendaleSchool @Ellendale4th @EllendaleThird @KinderBears901 @MichelleSBardos

Teachers, I've dreamt of taking you and your students with me on my I Survived research trips. And now...join me for a free virtual field trip 11/10! 1:00ET/10amPT (and available to stream later)

We've read the reviews and counted the points and these students and classes came out on top for the month! We're so proud of all classes "paws"-ing to read every day this year! @EllendaleSchool @EllendaleThird @Ellendale4th

Look at this amazing P.E. teacher totally unflustered by the book fair emerging to his right.

I read this book 36 years ago, but I still remember “the truth about Stacey” and get a pang in my chest upon seeing the cover. Middle grade books matter. I’m excited these non-graphic novel versions are circulating again suddenly.

📣 The 2022 Latinx Kidlit Book Festival will bring you another year of spotlights on Latinx books & creators! Educational fun so you can celebrate diverse #kidlit in the classroom. Join us Oct. 13-14, during Hispanic/Latinx Heritage Month for #LKBF22 youtu.be/-oPsmOiSa9o

2022-23's 1st book review winner @EllendaleSchool gave Dog Man Grime and Punishment 4.5 stars. Dog Man's his favorite character & he loves the illustrations but didn't think this book was Pilkey's best written. He prefers Mothering Heights! E is holding his reward: another book!

Happy New Year! We're starting every day by 'Paws'-ing to read here @EllendaleSchool. I was so happy to welcome students for our first morning circulation yesterday so they could be ready to settle down and read in their homerooms!

@nikkigrimes9 Your poems and novels-in-verse are a favorite among our 3rd-5th graders! I can't wait to check out these new books for our younger readers :)

Day 3! Some of our favorite characters: cats, dogs, and sharing sisters #ReadAcrossAmericaDay @EllendaleSchool

Day 2 ~ On our “many colored day” we surprised readers who asked for a new and different kind of book.

What a wonderful day of community guest readers @EllendaleSchool for Read Across America. Students were very engaged. Thankful to our guest. More coming tomorrow. @MichelleSBardos @EllendaleLib

Day 1 of our annual #ReadAcrossAmerica book giveaway! I spend the week before working with students on a reading plan and then surprise as many as I can with their “next read.”
