Collection News
We have added many new books to the collection, and we are almost at the 8,000 item goal. There are several more materials to add. In fact, we will need more shelving soon. Recently, I added over 100 digital resources, Lightbox books. These resources are not only text with an audio option, but they also include short videos and activities that have curriculum connections. I’ll write more about these in future posts.
Book Fair is Coming!
Our book fair is scheduled for the week of December 2-6, 2019. On most days we will open at 8:20am and end 4:30pm. However, we will remain open longer during the Winter Concert and Holiday fun activities, 8:20am-7:00pm. Currently, I am looking for volunteers. If you would like to sign up access the following Goggle Doc to sign up. Simply, type your name next to the slots you would like to cover and leave your email for me. I’ll send out reminders when we get closer to the actual day. Watch our book fair commercial created by Library Leaders for more details.
VOLUNTEER SIGN UP Library Classes
Library classes are learning how to use our card catalog, Destiny Discover, to look for books, access audio and digital resources, and to place holds on materials for themselves. I have created a Google Classroom form them to use which includes short “How-To videos.” I’ve also included the Mark Twain and Truman reporting forms in the classroom.
WIS News and The Virtual Tour
We have created our first news cast! Our goal is to attempt one show per week. It might be a little challenging for us when we have a short week - like Thanksgiving break, but we are going to try. I’ve embedded this weeks news cast.
We have also finished the virtual or video tour of our school. This took a long time, but I think that students are learning so much about using microphones, getting good shots, using synergy, and seeking first to understand. So, many of the Leader in Me skills/habits went into making this. I am proud of their efforts!
