The most popular activity (other than the food) at our Bluebonnet Book Party was putting next year's books on hold! The kids are so excited to read the new list. #RaisingReaders @TXLA @TBABooks @HoustonISD @OakForestES @HISDLibraryServ

Yesterday our 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders who read and voted on their favorite Bluebonnet books had a Bluebonnet Party! They had snacks, games, crafts, and prizes to celebrate their great reading. #raisingreaders @OakForestES @HISDLibraryServ @HoustonISD @TBABooks @TXLA

Kindergarten had lots of fun doing STEM labs this week! They tested different tower designs to see which could grow the tallest.

The only thing that could make Go Texan better is a book and a bunny. #RaisingReaders @HISDLibraryServ @HoustonISD @OakForestES

The Tournament of Books is underway. Our defending champion, Sergeant Reckless by Patricia McCormick, has a strong lead in the first round! @HISDLibraryServ @HoustonISD @OakForestES @McCormickWrites #RaisingReaders

STEM week! This creative parachute design from some of our 5th graders worked beautifully, hitting the target and keeping the basket upright. @HoustonISD @OakForestES @HISDLibraryServ

Lots of reading in January at Oak Forest! @HISDLibraryServ @HoustonISD @OakForestES #RaisingReaders

It was a noteworthy November in the library! @HISDLibraryServ @OakForestES @HoustonISD

Sometimes the library turns into a reception area - then classrooms become the library! The 3rd-5th graders read Endlessly Ever After today, while K-2 checked out books from our mobile cart and had story time. @HoustonISD @HISDLibraryServ @OakForestES @dsantat

Our first drone flight happened during book fair! @HISDLibraryServ @HoustonISD @OakForestES

2nd and 3rd graders have been busy learning library organization this week! Our 2nd grade detectives discovered that similar topics are grouped together, while 3rd grade practiced putting call numbers in ABC order. @HoustonISD @HISDLibraryServ @OakForestES

Another great Book Character Parade at Oak Forest! @OakForestES @HISDLibraryServ @HoustonISD #RaisingReaders
