SHMS Texans Library

This year, we got to have Festive Lotería in (a classroom because I double booked) the library! My A Lunch ladies are always a joy 🥰🎄

The library’s been buzzing! 📚 A surprise book fair, Beanstack reading champs, and a deep dive into making our collection more relevant for students. Grateful for the teachers who keep readers coming our way—thank you for helping our library thrive! 💛 @IrvingLibraries

Started this Thursday off the best way possible: giving away $$ for books! 🤠 this student has logged the most minutes in Beanstack & was SO excited this morning!

We're already a quarter of the way to our @zoobeanreads reading goal for the year and it's only the beginning of October! Celebrate my students by purchasing some of the prizes on our wishlist! amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls…

1st Six Weeks magic in the BOY chaos: strong digital resource usage & almost 19k minutes spent reading from our campus! @IrvingLibraries

Celebrated #DotDay with Mrs. Walker’s classes. Complete the drawing activities are a favorite that fosters creativity and critical thinking!

📐🔐 Created math escape rooms targeting our campus’s lowest TEKS—not bad for someone who never taught math! Just another way librarians can be versatile instructional partners in every content area! #SeeSamRead @IrvingLibraries

📚 Houston Library in Action! 📚 In the last 6 weeks, we: 📖 Checked out 959 books/317 eBooks 💻 Accessed 3,513 digital resources 🕯 Hosted a Holocaust Gallery Walk to deepen historical understanding. From engaging lessons to reading challenges, our library is buzzing! 📖💙

Last week, I facilitated a @HolocaustMuseum gallery walk with Mrs. Walker’s 8th graders. Students placed victim biography cards on an interactive timeline of laws, decrees, & key historical events—deepening their understanding before crafting an extended constructed response.

Just checked out this morning and eager to read over lunch! We love to see it! #SamSide #SeeSamRead #IrvingReads

🎉 It’s almost @heyymrschipley's birthday AND #GivingTuesday! 📚 Our students live in a book desert, & your generosity helps fill our shelves with stories they love. Celebrate by gifting a book from our Amazon wishlist! 💛📖 amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls…

📚✨ 2nd Six Weeks at @SamhoustonMS Library was a hit! From teaching lessons to celebrating Día de Muertos, and crushing digital engagement with 5K+ resource views—our library buzzed with activity. Here's to more connections and creativity ahead! #SamSide

Today, our library honored Día de Muertos with a hands-on tech-free celebration. After exploring the elements of ofrendas, students designed alebrijes and watching Coco, embracing tradition and creativity.

Instead of a New SORA Rec, this week's rec is in honor of #HispanicHeritageMonth2024, featuring @DanetteWrites Tia Lugo Speaks No Evil! youtu.be/0XShQp-ydkM

Exciting news from the SHMS Library! 📚 Digital resource usage is up by 10x compared to last year! Students and staff are making the most of our digital tools. 💻 #DigitalLearning #SHMSLibrary #IISDLibraries #LibrariansLead #EdTech

@DrTLovesBooks @livluvlibrary My clerk and I discussed how we do this at our local branches and I just want to apologize to @irvinglibrary 🙈

Found myself doing repairs to some books I borrowed from the public library. And, of course, each time I go in, I front and fix shelves. Just me? Or does anyone else (besides @livluvlibrary) library all the time?

Wow ... just wow. Parents, teachers, and students check out this math. Attendance isn't just about bonuses; it's about STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT! #Read2RiseUp @IrvingLibraries @Tiger_Library @SingleyAcademy @IrvingISD
