I am proud to be a school librarian! I get to do what I love everyday and teach it to students I love! STEAM, coding, reading, we do it all! It took me a while to get here, I get to live out my childhood dream! @RandolphSchools #randolphschools #NationalSchoolLibrarianDay

This week is Read Across America Week!! In honor of one of my favorite books growing up, I have dressed like Chrysanthemum!! What’s everyone’s favorite book from childhood?! #ReadAcrossAmerica #randolphschools @ShongumElem

The Rockefeller Center tree has been a tradition since 1931, starting in 2007 they took the tree, used it for lumber and build houses for those in need. Students utilized this amazing book to build a tree, used the tree for lumber to build a house. @ShongumElem #randolphschools

Every year I choose a costume of a book character for Halloween. This year I’m “If you give a mouse a cookie” or what my students think I am which is “A BOOKIE COOKIE” cause I refer to our return bin for books as that 😂🐭🍪📚 #randolphschools #Halloween @ShongumElem

Has anyone ever cried at a book because you relate so much to it?! I do it quite often tbh. 🙈 I ordered this book, not expecting to feel such an emotional connection but I did. It helped show me what I can be and might already be to my students. ♥️ @ShongumElem #randolphschools

@MrsEplerELA @ShongumElem I love the short film, I show that too sometimes! The kids love to compare and contrast the book and the short film! :)

@mel_lamac @ShongumElem I love that story! The short film for it is beautiful too ❤️

One of my favorite books to read with my students is “The Fantastic Flying Books or Mr. Morris Lessmore”, I even have a tattoo for the book as it has helped me understand and grow in my job. Today, I decorated the door in the theme of this book 📚♥️ #randolphschools @ShongumElem

TOMORROW ♥️ back in my wonderful updated library!! Year 3, here I come! #randolphschools @ShongumElem @RandolphSchools

Hey hey, tomorrow’s Earth Day! Alternative Energy, Water Consumption, Reduce/Reuse/Recycle, and anything else you can think of to help our earth, we got this! #EarthDay2021 #randolphschools @ShongumElem

I’m not crying, you’re crying. 🥲 I got this message from a student on our library call today, it was a total surprise and I simply melted. Sometimes reassurance from a 1st grader is all you need ♥️. #suchapickmeup #randolphschools @ShongumElem

Hi teachers, I'm giving away three signed "pairs" of my Titanic book in honor of today's anniversary. RT to enter, I'll announce winners this Sat 4/18. Titanic was my first I Survived, the first of the I Survived graphic novel. This topic is endlessly fascinating!

When something get you down, there’s always a way to lift you up! A student at @ShongumElem donated this to the library today, and boy did it brighten my day! This book aligns with a lot of things I teach and I can’t wait to implement it into our lessons. #randolphschools

Another STEM project coming at you from @ShongumElem for Black History Month. #randolphschools #STEMeducation #BlackHistoryMonth #rocketships

This book 👍👍👍 it is such an amazing book to use for so many different units in curriculum, whether it be for hydroponics, engineering, makerspace, coding; it has so many positive, amazing uses for students in all age groups! #randolphschools @ShongumElem

Trying to get some sprouts going to help my students learn about hydroponics when we come back from winter break! Also, our fish Potato has been going strong since last school year! #justkeepswimming #randolphschools @ShongumElem
