What a great day to be a @CockrellChamps Reader! It was fantastic to parter with Cockrell PTO over the past few weeks. Each student at Cockrell walked away from school with a brand new book! The kids LOVED this! Thank you, PTO!! @PISD_Libraries #cockrellreads @Scholastic

Such a fun week in the #ccelibrary! We are prepping for the spring @Scholastic Book Fair, hosted maker mornings, designed our own Fluffy McWhiskers, and @CockrellChamps Support represented Chicago at the Family Heritage Night! @PISD_Libraries @CockrellChamps

It was a creative week in the #ccelibrary! Our readers enjoyed the new light table and 2nd-5th graders used origami paper to make paper hearts. 💕 @CockrellChamps @PISD_Libraries #cockrellmakes #makerspace

This week, the #ccelibraty hosted the first #readaloudbookclub with 3rd grade! The @CockrellChamps readers are loving @judyblume’s classic book Freckle Juice! Can’t wait for next week to finish the book! @PISD_Libraries #cockrellreads

This week, the ljnzety went on the road! @CockrellChamps Specials hosted the amazing Diverse Abilities program throughout the school and use the library as one of the stations. It was also fun to visit classes for lessons and checkout! @PISD_Libraries

@kaburch1981 The kids loved the book and had a blast!!!!

Literature + Math = AMAZING

This week, @CockrellChamps 1st graders heard the book Circle ⭕️ Under Berry 🍓 by @CarterHiggins since they have been learning all about shapes in math. After the whimsical book, they had the opportunity to create objects with pattern blocks! @PISD_Libraries #ccelibrary

What a great week in the #ccelibrary! We had a lot of busy readers and hosted our annual @TBABooks Bash!!!! Our older readers cannot wait to see which book will win! @CockrellChamps @PISD_Libraries #cockrellreads #cockrellmakes
