Always fun to listen to student ambassadors touring the 5th graders around. They do a good job describing similarities & differences between the middle school & elementary school library experience. @apslibrarians.bsky.social @apsvaschoolbd.bsky.social @apsva.us #wmsreads #wmsresearches

Disciplinary Literacy classes in the library for a convention to showcase their research projects/inventions to "investors." Awesome creativity. Appreciate students referencing the research they did. #wmsresearches @apsvaschoolbd.bsky.social @apslibrarians.bsky.social @suptduran.apsva.us

Developing resiliency when doing research is a hard concept to teach - students must do the work & experience the process. Working with 7th gr science this week at the beginning of their science projects. #wmsresearches @BoykinBryan @APSLibrarians @APSscience @APSVaSchoolBd

Enjoying the opportunity to reinforce evaluating resources found during research w/ 7th gr science. Practicing being engaged/critical/reflective rather than passive while reading. @BoykinBryan @APSscience @APSLibrarians @wmspta_wolves @MaryKaderaVA #wmsresearches @APSVaSchoolBd

Supporting Civics & Science students in the library today as they continue research. Instruction re. modifying keywords is the most effective technique this morning. @BoykinBryan @APSLibrarians @KerriHirsch @APSscience @APSsocstudies @wmspta_wolves @APSVaSchoolBd #wmsresearches

Modifying keywords, adjusting research ? a smidge & reading the whole page not just the Google synopsis on the results page are all keys to success for Civics & Science researchers @BoykinBryan @APSVaSchoolBd @APSLibrarians @APSscience @APSsocstudies @wmspta_wolves #wmsresearches

Polishing the Research Hub. Created example notes page. Tried to incorporate the phrase "MooLoo" from one of the articles (describing training cows to urinate in one place in their pen), but couldn't quite get there. *Science is fun!* #wmsresearches @BoykinBryan @APSscience

A student was holding her head when I confirmed she must cite every photo in her project, even the collage. @noodletools makes it easy (remember typewriters? LOL). I've made demo videos for the students. They can do this! @APSLibrarians @BoykinBryan @wmspta_wolves #wmsresearches

It's not often that a quick resource review ends in applause, but there is just something about the info I share before the Superhero/Villain project that resonates w/ 8th gr. @APSscience @BoykinBryan @WMSWolfScience @APSLibrarians @wmspta_wolves #wmsresearches
