Librarian idea: take a photo of your kindergartners with their first library books. #TLSky

Started year 33 today! Bring on the readers! #schoollibrarian #TLsky

I am only 2 chapters into this new book by @frankisibberson.bsky.social and Lynsey Burkins and it has given me so much to think about in terms of student agency in read alouds. #readaloud #incommunitywithreaders

Celebrate Asian American & Pacific Islander Heritage Month with one of my fave books for young readers!

This group of 5th graders has started to use their time after book checkout to perform dramatic readings of picture books and it is just the best thing! This week featured Pinkalicious. #schoollibrarian

@rajanilarocca.bsky.social kicks off Reading Roundup today.

Middle grade readers need more high-quality short books. I really like this fantasy series from Christina Soontornvat. Each book is less than 150 pages with short chapters. The writing is wonderful & the storyline will have middle grade readers looking for the next book. @soontornvat.bsky.social

Whether you are new to the field, or a veteran educator, Tammy Mulligan's The Power of Quick and Frequent Practice has something for you. Read my post if you want more info about this book. thelatebloomersbookblog.blogspot.com/2025/03/the-... #quickandfrequentpractice

I just loved this beautiful book about Narwhals by Candace Fleming and Illustrated by Deena So'Ote! #Nonfiction #nonfictionpicturebooks thelatebloomersbookblog.blogspot.com/2025/01/narw...

I read Whale Fall by @mstewartscience.bsky.social and Rob Dunlavey with 5th graders this week. I highly recommend this book as an interesting and informative book that holds students interest from beginning to end. I learned a ton!

This novel-in-verse really resonated with my middle school self. The spiral perms, jeans rolled up tight at the ankle, jelly shoes and hoop earrings & the deep desire to fit in with the “cool kids” all ring true. Middle grade readers will enjoy Cayenne’s story. @jessicavitalis.bsky.social

I am so excited to read both of these books! @librarianjones.com #TLSky #schoollibrarian

We had a great visit with @tavaresbooks.bsky.social this week. Students have been drawing and reflecting on their writing lives in the library ever since.

TY @medialoguer.bsky.social for explaining the need for more short MG books! apple.co/3UGom45

Don't you just LOVE wordless books? Kidswill love this new one from Bob Staake. #picturebooks #wordlesspicturebooks thelatebloomersbookblog.blogspot.com/2024/11/lost...

#Bookaday I added Anne Wynter and Jerome Pumphrey's So Many Years: A Juneteenth Story to my 2025 Books I Love presentation: www.pinterest.com/mrschureads/...

Bounce: A Scientific History of Rubber, by @sarahalbee.bsky.social, takes a fascinating and unique look at rubber through historical and scientific lenses. I will definitely be adding it to my library. #nonfiction #nonfictionpicturebooks thelatebloomersbookblog.blogspot.com/2024/11/boun...

Matt Tavares will be visiting our district in a couple of weeks and we are so excited! This week I read Twenty-One Steps to my 3-5 students. The students were incredibly respectful in their discussions and you could have heard a pin drop during the read aloud.
