Our Wildcats were busy learning and creating in the library this week!
Students rotated through three hands-on stations, each packed with fun and purpose.
At our 🌪️ Wild Weather VR station, students explored storms and weather in an immersive way, helping build background knowledge and deepen understanding of science concepts through real-world connections.
Over at 🎨 Sketch & Color, students followed a directed drawing to create a kite for our windy March days—this activity strengthened listening skills, boosted confidence, and supported fine motor development as they carefully followed each step.
At our 🔖 Bookmark station, students colored their own bookmarks to be laminated as keepsakes, giving them a chance to practice creativity and focus while also creating something meaningful they can use during reading time.
We love combining creativity, technology, and skill-building to make learning come alive in our library!
