Cute Lorax Bulletin Board - thanks, Pinterest!

Nothing makes a month speed faster than realizing I need to change bulletin boards. Even though we have a Cricut (love/ hate relationship, anyone else?) some months I do all I can to avoid words. And as I type that I do realize how crazy that sounds in the library.

While scouring Pinterest for RAA and Dr. Seuss ideas, this super cutie caught my eye. Talk about easy, he was up before bus duty! What I really love is how much the kids love him! Squeals when they spot this instantly recognizable guy.

SKYPIN for RAA

After a few missed connections (you would think I would remember that we are MST not CST like ....well, like CST) and smoothing out the video on our end, one of my 4/5 classes enjoyed SKYPING with 5th graders from Iowa. To be honest, it was  a surprise for them and I think it did not have a chance to sink in until we had hung up. The kids LOVED it!! After we disconnected, they were full of so many questions and I know they look forward to connecting with the class again.

I LOVE the functionality of Google Docs that allowed so many librarians to connect in this new way, and many thanks to Tammy Massman @tammymassman and Noreen VandeWeerd @noreenvndewrd
