Thankful for this awesome community & Grier who came back to help fix the door to the LFL. It’s now made out of white marine starboard and a new Lexan clear sheet, that is almost indestructible. Time to load it back up with some great books! 💙🐢💚📚

Mrs. Edwards' first graders are busy learning about how books change lives around the world by reading the book, Waiting for the Biblioburro. Students are practicing their notice and wonder as they learn of a little girl who eagerly awaits a traveling library brought to her in a rural Colombian village on the backs of two donkeys. 🗺️📍📚

Check out Ms. Newhouse's 1st grade class! They made a class friendship web to build community by helping students see how connected they are to one another. 🕸️🤝 As each student adds their thread to the web, they contribute something unique while also becoming part of a larger whole. The activity encourages cooperation, listening, and a sense of belonging, showing students that everyone has an important role in the classroom community.🫶🏫💙
