Michigan ✅ North Carolina ✅ Nevada ✅ North Dakota ✅ 4 classes and 3 new states today! There were so many fun things in the library today that I'm going to split them between two posts... Miss Laura Beth from North Carolina read part of one of our favorite chapter books and told the 5th grade class about state book awards. She told them when she was their age her class loved the book she read aloud SO much that they nominated it for the Bluebonnet Award in Texas and the book did receive the state award. We have this Mary Downing Hahn book in the library and it's always a favorite among 4th and 5th graders! The 4th grade class learned about Dolly Parton from Miss Katie in Las Vegas, Nevada. None of them thought they knew who Dolly was until we looked her up and listened to some of her songs, then they realized they do all know her! 📚 🗺️ 🇺🇸 ❤️

Michigan ✅ North Carolina ✅ Nevada ✅ North Dakota ✅ 4 classes and 3 new states today! There were so many fun things in the library today that I'm going to split them between two posts... We did a repeat with N.D. so Jack's cousin Nora could read to the second graders. She was so excited to see her cousin and his class and Jack's reaction to seeing his cousin was so great! She did a great job reading to them! ❤️❤️ 3rd grade met a teacher from Michigan and enjoyed Ada Twist Scientist...a fantastic book! They were AMAZING listeners! She told them she was just across the border from Canada, only 24 miles! It was fun to see how close she is when we pinned their state flag in our map!

Massachusetts ✅ Washington ✅ 50 State Reading Challenge - Two more down and four more scheduled for tomorrow! This is going to be a fun week in our E.C. library! We had two fantastic readers in our library today!! Miss Ashley from Massachusetts was SO excited to spend time with our Kindergarten kids and the Boulder Colony classes. She read us The Book With No Pictures and the kids loved it! The First Grade Class and the Boulder Colony classes enjoyed listening to Miss Sarah from Vancouver, Washington. She read us How Do Dinosaurs Eat Their Food? She must've known that kids love silly books! 📚🗺️🇺🇸❤️

Every year we celebrate Dr. Seuss' birthday with a guest reader and some pretty sweet treats. We may be one week late in celebrating this year, but our Preschool - 12th graders had the most adorable cookies and cupcakes while they listened to a Pete the Cat book recorded for us by Governor Noem. 🎂🎈🎉📚

Arkansas ✅ Virginia ✅ One of the best parts of our 50 State Reading project is the different people we meet! Reading with Arkansas and Virginia was so much fun today and our readers enjoyed their time with us so much they even sent messages later to let us know how much fun it was for them too! 📚 🗺️ 🇺🇸 ❤️

P.A.C. Goodies for Grandparents, originally scheduled for tomorrow, has been postponed due to the weather forecast. The event will now be held on Wednesday, March 22nd from 7:50-8:20 AM.

North Dakota ✅ Another snowy day means we didn't get to read with all of our scheduled states, but the kindergarten class did check one more off our list! Thank you to Milo's Aunt Alisha in Fargo, N.D. (Also an Edmunds Central Alumni) for hanging out with us for a bit this morning! 📚 🗺️ ❤️🇺🇸

The Third Grade Art Hour kids created their own look-a-likes with half-sheet self-portraits. We'll compare their side-by-sides after they're hung to show off!

It might be blustery outside, but our First Grade Art Hour was bright and colorful! We love using watercolors and these projects will sure brighten up our wintery world!
