Hippity Hoppity

What a whirlwind the last few weeks have been. We had an amazing time with an awesome speaker thanks to Ms. Duggan and Mr. Cruzado. Judge Missey talked with the 8th grade social studies students about many things, including the difference between reality TV shows like Judge Judy, TV dramas like Law and Order, and how a real court room actually works.



He had great stories to tell and he looked pretty cool in his robe. Mr. Cruzado made sure to give Judge Missey something extra cool to wear under his robe, too.

Librarians learning to Tweet...
I know, right?!

On a far less exciting note for everyone else, but way exciting for me, I just came back from the Missouri Association of Librarians spring conference and boy did I learn a lot. From creating makerspaces (we will have one some day soon I hope) to using Twitter to how to be the hub of learning for your school to listening to amazing award winning authors speak on how grateful they are to have an amazing young adult audience reading and sharing their books, this was three days well spent.

We also found out the Missouri Award Reader winners for this year and the Truman Reader Award winner is....Legend by Marie Lu. Thank you to all of our Truman readers who voted this year. We'll be drawing names for our Truman Reader incentives next week!

Now it's time to get ready for the Assessment For Learning Fair where our teachers will get to see and share the projects on learning they have been working on this year. Yes, even teachers have projects and presentations. I hope everyone has a great four day weekend and we will see you back in the stacks soon!
