@andreaRschaber @LisaRudovic @Ccerone5 @KaEnglert1 How sweet is that?! What a fun way to celebrate reading!

Ice pops, and reading, and buddies…oh my 😎 A fabulous end to #ReadOn week with our #WOschool Bookworms! Our Kinders reading to their 4th grade buddies was definitely the highlight event 📚🐛#WeAreChappaqua

4th graders learned about @TheGlobalGoals and picked 1 to study. They created PSAs to teach others how to work towards that goal and coded @Ozobot to move through their poster. Today they shared! So impressed with these activists! @WeAreChappaqua @CoachSpillane @DebbieAlspach

@MsMLavery @CoachSpillane I loved how your class explored all of the different options and dove right in. Thank you for your support to help make it all happen!

3rd grade loved exploring their options today at the Coding Carnival! 🎟️🎡🤖@KaitlinALester @CoachSpillane

@HWhitehead_elem Your class rocked it… thanks to your support! I was so impressed with their coding skills and their flexibility!

Shoutout to @KaitlinALester for a fun and successful Apple Coding Carnival! 🤗🎟️🤖 #WeAreChappaqua

🎡Coding Carnival is off to a great start! 🎪 To celebrate their learning, 3rd & 4th grade Ss visited coding “attractions”- @Sphero art, iPad coding w/@SwiftPlayground & @gotynker, & robots, robots, robots! 🤖 So many choices and chances to apply their skills! #WeAreChappaqua

@andreaRschaber @ChatterPixIt Oh my gosh that sea turtle ChatterPix PSA is incredible! Love all of this work!

Exciting #EarthWeek celebrations in the #WOglc! Our researchers have embraced inquiry-driven #sustainability topics and have become Earth activists! 🌎 From crafting objects representing their causes to creating powerful PSA's using @ChatterPixIt, they're raising their voices for environmental change! 📣 #WeAreChappaqua #EducationForChange

How lucky are we to have an outdoor learning space connected to the library?! 😎☀️ Students enjoyed a much needed sunshine & fresh air break after testing today! 📚📖 #WeAreChappaqua @CoachSpillane @DebbieAlspach

Happy Earth Day from the Grafflin GLC! 🌷🌎🌻 #WeAreChappaqua

“If we are working on sustainability projects, shouldn’t we use less… paper?” 🌎 🤔 Ss explored @Ozobot & even figured out that they could test codes on screens to save paper. Excited to see how Ss will integrate coding & robotics into sustainability PSAs #WeAreChappaqua

@RossCoops31 Congrats Ross!

Board approved this week with a start date of July 1 - Principal of Hindley Elementary School, Darien Public Schools! I am beyond excited to return home to Fairfield County, Connecticut, about 25 minutes from where I grew up.

@andreaRschaber What a great way to apply their math skills! I love their designs

So much excitement in the #WOschool makerspace with our 4th grade mathematicians! They took on this #GeometryChallenge with critical thinking skills, perseverance, and a spirit of exploration 📲🛠️👷#WeAreChappaqua

@MsMLavery @chappaqua_csd @CoachSpillane Thank you for celebrating right alongside your students! I’m so glad students are eager to checkout new books!

New book shipment has us VERY EXCITED for our next library class! Thank you @KaitlinALester for organizing this delicious book tasting! 😉📚📖 @chappaqua_csd @CoachSpillane

@HWhitehead_elem Thank you for coming! It was so awesome to see your students so excited about books! 🤩

YAY for new books! Thanks to @KaitlinALester for the excellent book tasting. We had a BLAST! 📚🐛 #WeAreChappaqua

@biannacardinale This ties in perfectly with our current sustainability unit in library! I’d love to chat to help connect to their learning across the day!!

Our Integrative learning continues.. we learned about American Activists, we thought about issues we would like to study more & advocate for in our community. The kids asked to write letters to the President!!!

First graders used all that they learned from their #science21 Light and Sound unit to create musical instruments! Then of course, they had a sing along! #WeAreChappaqua @CoachSpillane @DebbieAlspach

I love when Ss come to the library in the mornings to get “extra” books or to return & chat about a book. Today was extra special- a frequent visitor came in with a book purse she MADE! “Now I can always carry a book with me”. 🤩 📚 #WeAreChappaqua @CoachSpillane @DebbieAlspach

March Book Madness has begun at Grafflin! I love seeing and hearing the excitement as students walk by the bracket each day! @MsADuBois @DebbieAlspach @CoachSpillane #WeAreChappaqua

@AndreaSchaber @principalskoog @jennkthompson @ChappLib @KaEnglert1 @Ccerone5 What a fun celebration of reading! Looks like your students had a blast!

Thank you to all who shared the joys of reading with our #WOschool Bookworms for #WRAD2024. Mystery readers, buddy class adventures, digital explorations, live stream authors, assemblies with our wonderful Chappaqua Librarians-WO kept the literary magic alive! #WeAreChappaqua📚💫

@CoachSpillane @DebbieAlspach @chappaqua_csd This is the best! Love these buddy classes!

Kdg. and 4th grade buddies are taking turns reading to each other, spreading the joy of reading! 📚✨#WRAD

What a joyful World Read Aloud Day! Thank you to all who made this day so special at Grafflin! It was incredible to see our community members, teachers, & high schoolers share the love of reading with our students! 📚🤩 @CoachSpillane @DebbieAlspach @JennyGieras #WeAreChappaqua
