Bear Branch Junior High Library

The first nine weeks FLEW by! Our library has been a center for student's academic growth and learning for our hardworking bears. From extension activities to digital citizenship to guest speakers, and everything in-between! Thank you so much to parent volunteers who have donated their time to create a more user-friendly nonfiction area to our library this first nine weeks. We have seen drastic increase in nonfiction circulation! Keep an eye out for more amazing things happening in our library this school year.🐻✨

And the library is open for business! 7th and 8th grade ELA classes visited the library this last week to get their first books of the school year checked out and explore the Makerspace. The library loves visits from our clever and creative bears! 🐻📚

As our 8th graders prepare for their upcoming dance and much deserved summer break, they’ve found the time to come visit the library and learn a little bit about oversharing on social media and how it can impact their digital footprint. We love our responsible digital citizens! 💻📱

7th graders learning about the impact of their digital footprint, 8th graders engaging in enrichment activities over inferring after rocking out their CFAs, a guest speaker for our science classes, and ✨of course✨ some works-in-progress developing in Makerspace. Love a busy week in our flexible library space! 💪📚

An eventful week in the library! The amazing EPIC event hosted by College and Careers, debates taking place in TX history, and creative minds in Makerspace 🤝🗣🎨🎄

It's Scholastic Book Fair time! From 11/28-12/2 students can experience the excitement of new books this season.
Remember, what starts at the Book Fair stays with you forever. Every purchase supports our school. https://www.scholastic.com/bf/bbjh

It has been a FANTASTIC school year! Check out the BBJH Library stats for the first six weeks. Teachers and students have been utilizing the library space for research, collaboration, and creative thinking as they've rocked out these first months of the school year.
