My students are K-5th graders who are full of energy & visit the library once a week for scheduled special. In addition, teachers send students to the library to complete a task or come for a full class activity. Some also come during recess for fun or to mentor younger students. This year library looks different, Library is coming to classrooms. Students attend school in a hybrid model or some attend school fully virtually 5 days per week. The students have adapted to the challenges thrown at them this year & are not only surviving, but thriving in this very different environment due to the Covid 19 Pandemic. My students come from very diverse backgrounds. They love reading diverse books, participating in makerspace activites & STEM challenges & are very curious. There are over 1400 students in our school! I have a large population of ELLs, they eager to learn and enjoy every minute of it. They are all amazing kids!
