Behlau Library News

I'm pleased to announce that my grant proposal was selected by the NISD NEF Grant Committee this past month. Apple Annie personally came out to our campus to award us money to purchase a book vending machine! I can't wait to fill it up with new books for our Behlau Bulldogs to choose from.

Our kindergarteners to second graders had a blast in the library! They used cool technology to listen to exciting stories during a storybook walk. It showed them how much fun reading can be!

Our upper grades have been hard at work in their classrooms. To foster critical thinking and promote positive vibes, students utilized station time in the library to engage in hands-on activities and collaborative learning experiences.

The Behlau Library was "hoppy" to host students who participated in this year's Behlau Readathon. Students had a great time eating lunch with the Easter Bunny. Thank you, Mrs. Delgado, for organizing this reading event!

The month of April is known as National Poetry Month, a time to celebrate poets and their craft. Over the years, it has become the largest literacy celebration in the world. Let's do our part here at Behlau and participate in Poem in Your Pocket Day held on April 18th. On this day, select a poem, carry it with you, and share it with others at schools, bookstores, libraries, parks, workplaces, and on social media using the hashtag #pocketpoem.

It's that time of year for events and testing! With that being said, the library hours may vary and more closures may occur during the month of April and May. Thank you for your flexibility and understanding.

Our 5th grader Carlyrose's story has been selected to be on display at this year's Storyfest. Way to go, Carlyrose!

The end of the year is quickly approaching and your help is needed to promote the book return challenge. It would be totally awesome if we can have ALL of our library books back on the shelves before summer. Check the hallway bulletin board/digital Google Slide daily to see if your class is closest to 0.

The 1st class of students & teachers in each grade to have all their books turned in will win popsicles!

More information to come.
