Welcome to the second week of library story times and checkout. This week is a review of rules about conduct and handling the books, and checkout.
Our read aloud this week is This Is A School by John Schu. It is a story about how a school isn't just a building, but a place for people to come together and learn, collaborate, and be a community. This is a great way to remind students that a school is made up of all different types of children and adults. We can learn from each other and experience things through each others' eyes.

Welcome to the first week of library story times and checkout. This week is orientation to the library space, rules about conduct and handling the books, and the first checkout.
Our read aloud this week is 1st Day Critter Jitters by Jory John. It is a great story about how even teachers can be nervous with the first day of school. As the start of the school year is getting closer the animals are all nervous for different reasons, arriving on time, carrying their backpack, having too much energy, and other feelings that our students may also have. They realize that they can help each other through their jitters and that school is fun. I want the library to be a fun time for students where they look forward to coming for read alouds, lessons, makerspace, reader advisory, and so much more. The library is constantly evolving as a space and this year I am excited to have it completely open again to all students at all times of day. It is hard to believe another school year is upon us. I am going to try to post what we are doing weekly in the library. I will be working with 4K, Kindergarten, and 1st grade weekly, and 2nd grade bi-weekly. 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades will come in small groups or individually to check out. I am excited about this change as I will be able to spend more time with students and their teachers.
I am calling this week 0 instead of week 1 as I will not be seeing students for library time until August 22nd. This shortened week of school I will be taking pictures of students, helping distribute new devices, dealing with technology issues, and doing whatever else I can do to make the start of the school year easier for teachers and students. I look forward to interacting with you as the school year goes on! Mrs. Swygert |
