@koalasrule1 @ParticipateLrng They're lucky to have you on their team!!😊

Excited to have officially started my journey with Participate Learning today as an Instructional Specialist!! I am thrilled to have the opportunity to create global connections and work with this amazing organization. 🌍 @ParticipateLrng #UnitingOurWorld

8th grade sculpture students did a great job creating altered books. Shout out to Ms. Bousquet for providing students with books! @librarianac @eastcarymiddle

Having the opportunity to advocate for students, inclusive school spaces + equity-centered librarianship is a dream. Thank you @sljournal + @Scholastic for supporting School Librarians as we work to protect joyful libraries and our students' intellectual freedom!

What an incredibly cool honor for one of our district's most fantastic librarians!! Way to to go @BespokeLib ! slj.com/story/Julie-St…

ECMMS Staff and Teachers had a blast on the DC field trip too!! @eastcarymiddle #lifelonglearners

Thanks @librarianac for your collaboration and helping our students continue to build their research skills!

Our students did an amazing job taking on the role of Disease Detectives. They researched a disease, wrote a scenario of how an outbreak could occur on campus, and completed a report to communicate to others how to prevent future outbreaks from happening. @eastcarymiddle

@eastcarymiddle Students getting into choice reading! We're always looking for Readers in the Wild at ECMMS!

Egypt Day in 6th grade!! Thank you to our special guest speaker who shared about her amazing travels in Egypt!! Ms. Bousquet is also celebrating the history of Egypt; check out some books she has highlighted in the Media Center!! @eastcarymiddle @Watermans_World @librarianac

I've loved working this week with the 6th grade ELA team! Students researched a historical figure who has achieved success while facing adversity and are now writing and performing monologues from that person's perspective. @CWhitacre3 @eastcarymiddle #AIGImps

Twin day @eastcarymiddle ! #aigimps

Research Day 3- the work begins! After a brief check in as a group students spread out in the media center in some cozy spots (some with study buddie) and started to dive into their research and notes! Happy researching to all! @koalasrule1 @librarianac #eastcarymiddleschool

And so it begins...RESEARCH!! We are so excited to see students begin this part of our project. Let the learning begin!! @eastcarymiddle @librarianac @Watermans_World

Research Day 2! All about plagiarism and how to properly site sources. Students really enjoyed our opening conversation based on @librarianac's hook. Did you ever notice that Ice Ice Baby sounds a lot like Under Preasure? @koalasrule1 #eastcarymiddle

Day 2: plagiarism lesson!! Students learned why this is such an important concept in research. Students listened to two famous songs (can you guess which ones?) and discussed their point of view on the issue. @eastcarymiddle @librarianac @Watermans_World

Research day one in the media center! Learning how to organize for a research project and collect good resources. Thank you @librarianac for setting these kiddos up for success. @koalasrule1 #eastcarymiddle

Research project day 1!! Shout out to Ms. Bouquet for organizing and assisting our scholars with this fun project!! @eastcarymiddle @Watermans_World @librarianac

Loved supporting @kcoxscience and @SmithSciECMMS on this project!

Loved watching students use the information they gathered as they debated tap water v. bottled water. Strong feelings and points on both sides! 💧@eastcarymiddle
