Our Blackbird staff and students have voted and our Library return cart officially has a name: Dolly Carton. Thanks to Mr. Waidelich, STEAM teacher, for printing the label. Our Library Aide, Grace did a great job adding it to the cart! Did you know? Dolly Parton created the Imagination Library in 1995 to provide free books to children in her home county in Tennessee. Today, the organization mails over 1,000,000 books each month to homes across the USA. Her hope is to inspire children to Dream More, Learn More, Care More, and Be More. Thank you, Dolly! 📚

Memphis recently took a tour of the new S.T.E.A.M. Lab. He was challenged by Mr. Waidelich to come up with a way for the blades to turn more independently than the current rubber band method. Memphis has already put some ideas on paper, and is excited to participate in this cross-curricular learning opportunity.

Last week, preschool through 5th grade learned about #InternationalDotDay Mrs. Lammers read “The Dot” by Peter H. Reynolds to each class, and the students got to be creative in the Library. The Dot is the story of a caring teacher who dares a doubting student to trust in her own abilities by being brave enough to “make her mark”. What begins with a small dot on a piece of paper becomes a breakthrough in confidence and courage, igniting a journey of self-discovery and sharing, which has gone on to inspire countless children and adults around the globe.
