A snowy Monday morning calls for taking time to enjoy the view from the library windows between our read-aloud and checking out new books! #inquirers @JKGEMSChi @GWAcademyChi
We had a very special visitor today! A librarian from @chipublib came to school to read to our JK students and talk about the importance of the public library in our community. Thank you for visiting, Alenka! @GWAcademyChi @JKGEMSChi
Couldn’t agree more with the sentiment on my new favorite notebook 😉 Thanks for the thoughtful gift, @IBMrsC!
What a great first week of library! So excited that so many books have made their way into student’s hands. It’s going to be a fantastic year full of reading! 📚 @GWAcademyChi
We had a great time touring Global Village and cooking dinner together. Just like in the real world, resources were not distributed evenly and Ss had to barter to get ingredients they needed. Thankful for the opportunity to experience what life is like for others. @GWAcademyChi
The start of a new school year means an overnight trip to Michigan for these 8th graders! @GWAcademyChi @HowellNatureCtr
I discovered that Shel Silverstein lived at a house 3 blocks from mine when he was a child, and that the sidewalk outside of the house is currently under construction. This morning I went to see “where the sidewalk ends”. #shelsilverstein #chicagopoet #chicagopoetry – at Chicago, IL
