It's Wednesday! What's happening in the Sommer Library?

Welcome back from your four-day weekend, Stallions!
Teachers have been working the last two days.  While Ms Margocs was at training, Mrs. Melton was busy making a fabulous hallway display.


Mrs. Melton also put president books on display.  Here are just a few:





Topics Ms Margocs learned about during the last two days of professional development:  
  • triarchic intelligence--from a fabulous presenter, a Sommer parent who just happens to work with the Depth and Complexity folks 
  • "Stop the Bleed", a state-mandated training
  • resilience and reset--from another fabulous RRISD parent, Anne Grady 
  • podcasting--might just turn this blog into audio
  • using graphic novels in the classroom--ideas to support teachers
  • booktalks
Last Friday, we had a great time at our Bluebonnet Breakfast!  Sixty-eight students attended; thirty-seven students were recognized for reading all of the Bluebonnet Nominees.


We have a lot going on in school with the shorter week and APEX activities, so every class is in checkout mode.  We'll be back to our normal schedule of lessons next week.

And the week after is....our Spring Scholastic Book Fair!

We will be open for shopping on the following dates:
Wednesday, March 4th--230p to 430p
Thursday, March 5th--715a to 415p
Friday, March 6th--715a to 615p (PTA Movie Night!)
Saturday, March 7th--1p to 4p (Code Jam!)
Monday, March 9th--715a to noon

There will be an all-call for overdue books/ missing fees for lost/damaged books before Spring Break.  Students who have overdue books or unpaid bills will not be allowed to check out books to read over break.

Keep on reading, Stallions; Six Flags Read to Succeed minutes must be entered online by parents by March 31st!
