Webb Library Newsletter

Hi families! I’m Morgan Phillips, your Library Media Resource Specialist. As an instructional leader, my goal goes far beyond the bookshelf. I am here to guide our Cubs as they grow into creative, adventurous, and critical thinkers. Whether we are diving into research tools, exploring new technology, or discovering a new favorite story, I strive to make learning an engaging, open-minded, and fun experience for every cub!

Math Makerspace Tuesdays bridge core math skills with STEAM through hands-on design and building challenges. Every Tuesday, students who have completed their classwork can earn a special teacher pass to visit the library and explore hands-on learning stations.

• October Math Focus: Critical thinking using puzzles.

Ask your cub on Tuesday evenings: Did you visit the makerspace today, and what did you create?
