Our Storybook Pumpkin Patch is Coming Back!

A few of our Storybook Pumpkins from last year.
                                                             
Last year we started a new tradition at the Memorial School Library, thanks to an idea I stole, er borrowed, from one of the amazing Teacher Librarians in my PLN (professional learning network). I mention my PLN often because of its great influence on my professional life and thinking. Currently most of my learning, inspirations, gathering of ideas, etc. come from being a connected educator. Being a connected educator leads you to your PLN. Your PLN helps to open doors, meet wonderful new friends, provides support and a virtual team. 

But back to pumpkins! We had such a fun time watching our pumpkin patch grow in the library.  Each day as new pumpkins arrived, students and staff would come to take a look. We even had a group of educators from China visit and they loved them too.

The flyer about the pumpkin patch went out in our weekly email packet to families last week.

We can't wait to see what our pumpkin patch will look like this year!
