Fall Creek Cardinals SOAR in the Library!

Carol Trimble teaches concepts of  Biography timelines to the Students of Fall Creek Elementary

Students are actively engaged in a biography about Dr. Seuss!


Students create a collaborative timeline of the life of Dr. Seuss



Fall Creek Students love reading Bluebonnet Books!





Kindergarten participates in Story time


The dynamic seating area for moving during lessons boosts brain power



Great Quotes in the Library Inspire students!



 Cardinals Love to check out books and read!


Amazing STEM Makerspace Options give students choice
 and ownership of their learning.






 Fall Creek Cardinals are given choices about their learning and engage in higher-level learning. They are more joyfully engaged and their brains are able to process learning and store it in long-range memory more effectively.

Ms. White and Ms. Diosdado's class  
 invited me to help vote for the best picture books written by the TMS 8th grade students. The author's of the chosen books will take their creation and present them to elementary students.  The students are very excited and are really hoping to be chosen to take the trip to the elementary schools.  




What a warm inviting classroom lit by lamps and string lights.

Students wrote picture books about bullying, finding your place
 and that our differences make us unique.

What an imaginative class!
