My Project

Games are a great way to help reinforce skills the kids are learning without them realizing they're learning. In the library, I'm not teaching the students their curriculum, but if I can provide opportunities to practice those skills, I'm going to jump on that! These games are mostly geared towards the younger grades and that is because the reading skills the students learn at those ages are the foundation that the older grades can build on.

Our school has been on a performance improvement plan since it was created, and we are all committed to getting off that plan.

I will use these games and activities during book check out time to do my part in helping our school succeed.
