Our school is a public, Montessori magnet school. We have a diverse population of over 550 Pre-K through 8th graders. Being in an urban district, many of our students come from impoverished conditions.
For our students, school is a safe place they look forward to going each day.
Students come to school looking for hugs from their teachers and comfort in their classrooms. Many of our students don't have books at home, or the opportunity to visit public libraries. Our school library is a special place for these students. A place that gives them the freedom to travel the world, and join adventures, through books.
My Project
As we transition back into remote learning, one of the main concerns among teachers is how to continue to keep students engaged in their learning. Despite the initial appeal of learning on a device, after months of spending time in front of a screen, the "shininess" has worn off.
One request I've heard from students and families, over and over again, is the opportunity to utilize Brainpop and Brainpop Jr as a learning resource.
Having this subscription would allow me to introduce topics and learning in a new and engaging way, to keep the excitement alive during distance learning.
While Brainpop and Brainpop Jr. offer an incredible amount of topics to discover, as the library media specialist, I am especially excited to utilize their lessons on computer programing, coding, digital citizenship and literacy.
