Today, Dallas ISD Media and Literacy Specialists came together to learn, collaborate, and prepare for another incredible school year. As the heart of the school, our Dallas ISD librarians are ready to strengthen curriculum connections, foster literacy, inspire innovation, and inspire every Dallas ISD student to explore, discover, and grow.

The library: a place where stories, science, and technology can all come together! Inspired by I Was: The Stories of Animal Skulls by Katherine Hocker, students at Gooch Elementary explored animal skulls in 3D using Merge Cubes, made predictions, and conducted research using PebbleGo! What an engaging way to spark curiosity, critical thinking, and discovery!

Last week we read "I Was: The Stories of Animal Skulls" by Katherine Hocker. Students examined 3D Skulls using Merge Cubes, attempted to determine what animals the skulls belonged to, and did further research using databases such as PebbleGo. @goochelementary @DISD_Libraries

👻 Our 1st graders are getting into the spooky spirit! After reading Leila, the Perfect Witch, we explored another Flavia Z. Drago favorite, Gustavo, the Shy Ghost! Students had fun creating their own Gustavo ghosts!

I brought the library to the lunchroom! It’s really cool to see our students sign up for our 40-book challenge and check out some preselected books! I can’t wait to see what they choose tomorrow! @DISD_Libraries #BedfordBooks #40bookchallenge
Creativity and learning go hand in hand! Pre-K students at Salazar Elementary are strengthening their fine motor skills through engaging, hands-on activities in the library! We love seeing our youngest learners explore, create, and develop essential skills!

In our library this week, we are hyping up the excitement as the back fair approaches. PK is also engaged in “coloring” pumpkins a little different than the usual. An awesome way to get them to work on those fine motor skills! @DallasISDSupt @DISD_Libraries @AngieGaylord

Moments like these remind us that a love for reading begins with meaningful connections! We love seeing families engaged in literacy and making special memories at Macon Elementary’s Book Fair!

Rats - I was expecting a book about rocks - the elusive kindergarten topic that is so hard to find engaging books for 😉Love how Lizard addresses the reader, the different colored text, and, of course, the end pages & case cover art. @IamJoryJohn @DISD_Libraries #bookaday

This is a great example of bringing literacy and STEM learning together! The students at Margaret B. Henderson are exploring coding with Bee-Bots while bringing Let’s Be Bees to life.
@DISDLibDirector @NicoleWBixby @TransformDISD @DrElenaSHill @Dallasacademics @KSosa95927552
Layering reading with experiences makes learning meaningful. Let's Be Bees is a fun read, but even more fun after learning to use BeeBots for coding and really BE BEES!
