We are ready for Camp Read-In to celebrate School Library Month! #dcdsreads #mischoollibraryreadin

Is there anything better than reading outside in a hammock with a friend? #DCDSReads #DCDSFun

Having some winter fun in the library! #dcdsreads

The Read-In is coming up! Join all DCDS students grades PK-12 this Saturday morning for a read-in filled with activities and fun! #DCDSReads

We started out Community Read this week with the book Boxitects! For prereading we used a mystery bag with a cardboard object inside. We shared what we thought it could be! It always awesome to how kids view things! #dcdsreads

Thanks to The Book Wrangler for this idea! The kids are going to have fun finding this one! #dcdsreads

This picture is so many things! How genrefying has changed how kids use the library. It is about one of these boys who used to hate reading until he found something hilarious! It shows the power of kids recommending books to kids. I am just happy I got to catch it! #DCDSReads

Preschool students enjoyed the story Leaf Trouble. Then they worked with a friend to mix up the story and put back in the correct order! #dcdsreads

Junior Kindergarten has learned the difference between fiction and nonfiction. After reading about elephants on PebbleGo they enjoyed the book Strictly No Elephants. Then used felt shapes to make their own pet to join the Pet Club. We even used puppets as our models. #dcdsreads

Fun end-of-the-year read aloud! After exploring a picture of Hamilton Fountain Kindergartners heard the story Goldfish on Vacation and then made something for their goldfish to take with them on their trip using Play-doh. #dcdsreads

Kindergartners were book care detectives! They investigated what happened to each book and figured out ways to keep it from happening again! One of my favorite borrowed lessons from @illinimccoy! #dcdsreads #mischoollibary

Last week we had the best time at the @literati book fair! So many choices and excitement about reading! #dcdsreads

We had an amazing author/illustrator visit from @shelleyjohannes this week! She shared where her inspiration comes from, her writing process, and taught us how to draw Beatrice! The kids loved it! #mischoollibrary #DCDSReads

Great stuff here! Author Kelly J. Baptist visited the Middle School. Before her visit, 4th-6th grade students read some of her stories. They participated in decision-making activities and engaged Kelly with insightful questions about writing and her life. #DCDSreads #DCDSfun

It is amazing to see the creativity of kindergartners! After reading the book Ali and the Sea Stars they used LEGOs to create a model of their hopes & dreams! Who wouldn’t want a pet dinosaur? #dcdsreads

With the holiday break fast approaching, don't forget that you can check out books from our libraries so you have books to read. Here's a fun display Mrs. Dobbs, our Upper School librarian, made. #DCDSReads

First, second, & third graders had an opportunity to join a virtual visit from Mary Pope Osborne, author of the Magic Tree House books. This Book Break author visit allowed students to learn about her writing process & what books she is working on now! #DCDSReads @MaryPopeOsborne

Enjoying the book Jabari Jumps by @GaiaCC with junior kindergarten today! After ready they used @KEVAplanks to build a pool/diving board for Jabari! #dcdsreads

Teacher Book Party at the Middle School!.Last week, faculty stopped in to party with the new books this week and filled out TBR (To Be Read) lists. The books (and teachers!) are excited to welcome students back to school. #DCDSreads #DCDSFun #reading

Last week we hosted a @literati Book Fair! I always love the magic and excitement around books and reading that the Book Fair brings! #dcdsreads
