My Project

Every year, we learn essential library skills: how the library is organized, choosing "just right" books, and book care. At the beginning of the school year, I use books to teach kids about the library, how to find materials in the library, and how to take care of the books they borrow.

Learning how to use the library and how to take care of books are important life skills.

This project will supply our library with books about book care, such as Read It, Don't Eat It, and Manners with a Library Book. It will also provide our library with new books about choosing appropriate books for reading and interest levels. In addition, it will provide bookmark kits for our entire school to reinforce good book care.

Ms. Skoczylas will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by August 10.
