Paxton Library

Legos space challenge. ☀️ 🌙 Determine the average number of daylight and darkness hours in a particular month. Use the hours of darkness to program a “lamp” to turn on during the night at a “campsite”. @PaxtonKeeLib

@MrsSullivan110 @LEGO_Group They did a great job!

I forgot to post our #BuildToGive designs! Thanks @PaxtonKeeLib for the idea and kits! Thanks @LEGO_Group for donating to kids in need of play this holiday season.

@thelensthinkers Those are great designs!

Talking about generosity this week with LEGO's #BuildtoGive challenge!

The library smells like feet, but it was worth it. 18 classes came by over 2 days to learn with the #BigMOmap!

Missouri kids can get a free book from Dolly Parton's #ImaginationLibrary every month. Starting today, the program that mails out free books each month will be available to Missourians ages 0-5. ow.ly/50ni50Q50F7 #Literacy #MOedu

Big thanks to @AGCofMO for the construction story time today! Our kindergarten students had a blast. Angie from @MoDOT and Angie from @ESS_emerysapp were fantastic readers. Our students are so excited to reread the books that were donated to their classrooms!

Another year, another round of blackout poetry. Thank you, @KatieCanepa and @PaxtonKeeLib 📝

They performed for @paxtonkee and it was amazing! My students loved it! So entertaining. Thank you @dbrl for allowing them to come!

And of course we couldn’t have had this much fun without a great team. Shout out to our Paxton counselors @SSadewhite and @KEaglePK along with Mr. Watson, our music teacher, for being surprise guests!

inquiry stations, @pltworg modules, robotics, and more. We shared photos of the “sleepover” with the teachers and look forward to reading any stories students write about the library!

It’s #NationalLibraryWeek and we thought we’d enlist our 1st graders to tell our library story through a stuffed animal sleepover. Students reflected on the year and chose the library learning activities they wanted their stuffies to experience. Reading, makerspace…

Students wrote care instructions for their stuffies, including tips like: “Needs 3 kisses at night. Not 2, and not 4. Just three.” And, “She is a sting ray so she likes water but she is not waterproof so do not get her wet!” We followed directions when possible!

And so it begins! Stuffed animals are loaded on the bus for the 1st grade stuffie sleepover. There will be lots of pictures to write about tomorrow showing all the fun these beloved stuffies will have!

Way to go, Mrs. Canepa and Mrs. Sullivan! Great job highlighting Project Lead the Way in 1st grade! cpsk12.org/site/default.a…
