Mr. Schu to visit England 5th Graders next month!

Christian Robinson’s OUT OF THIS WORLD Author Visit

We were beyond thrilled to welcome Caldecott and Coretta Scott King honoree Christian Robinson to England Elementary, on the *very first* morning of his book tour for his eagerly anticipated debut as author-illustrator with his wordless picture book, Another.

Ms. Holcek’s second graders proudly introduced Mr. Robinson, sharing with the audience details about his books, helping welcome him to our school and kicking off his presentation.

Our kindergarten, first and second grade students (and teachers!) were enthralled with his presentation, and we all enjoyed “telling” the story of Another from our perspectives as he shared it with us during a special wordless group read-aloud.

Welcome Back to the Library, Leopards!

I’m thrilled to be kicking off our SEVENTH year together at Elsa England! I’ve already begun Library Orientations with 5th, 4th, and 3rd grade, and will finish up this week with the rest of the classes not yet visited the library! By the end of this week, all 1,200 of our K-5 students will have received their library orientation lesson and checked out their FIRST books of the year!!!

We have a FABULOUS year in store together, and I can’t wait to get started!

Presenting Armadillo Readers’ Choice Award at TLA 2018

I had the best time presenting today at the 2018 Texas Library Association Annual Conference in Dallas. Two of my favorite librarians, Kristen Fournier and Stephanie Inzana, and I, were thrilled to share The Round Rock ISD Armadillo Readers’ Choice Award with a packed room of hundreds of librarians! Our session hit capacity and were so excited! Check out our presentation.
