My Students
Our elementary school library is used by transitional kindergarten through fifth-grade students every week. Each class comes to the library for a thirty-minute period during which I, their teacher-librarian provides a lesson tailored to their grade level based on state library standards and fabulous literature.
My students are amazing kids who always come to the library ready to learn.
They experience a mix of print media and technology during our library lessons. Our discussions are engaging and often entertaining! Just yesterday, a second-grade boy entered with his class and announced, "I love books!" I replied, "Me too!"
We are in need of more books! My students cannot wait to check out new and interesting books. There are so many great authors and stories in our world, and I want my students to see what is possible through books and the many imaginative works that are being published today.
My Project
My students are learning from home right now, and we have been focusing much of our library learning on equity and kindness through literature.
Building our library collection with books for reading enjoyment as well as books that teach social responsibility is essential for student learning.
I am certain these engaging titles will impact the kids' desire to listen during my lessons and in turn participate in the discussions that follow.
We are in a very pivotal time in history, and kids want to know what is happening in our world. Literature allows them a window into some of the important issues that are happening throughout our society today.
