My Students

I have grades K-5 as a school librarian. I am continually working on increasing the love of learning in all of my students. Anything from how to find books within the library system to lessons that go with popular read-aloud books while in the library.

They only get a limited time in the library and I want to make it as enjoyable of an experience as possible.

I encourage all of my students to find books that they will enjoy and help encourage them to read.

My Project

We have had some great help and support in the past. We already have some chairs and I have seen how popular they are and would love to have some more for use by the students during the mornings.

The excitement of what is new is always intriguing.

I try really hard to keep the kids on their toes by changing things around in the library, even if it is just the new assortment of pencils and erasers. This time of year students tend to lose or fall short on pencils and what better thing to have as a nice library incentive is to have an option of new pencils and erasers.

Keeping kids on their toes has always been fun for me and trying to keep them engaged and I do that by always coming up with new and creative bulletin boards. the new borders would just help me come up with more new and exciting ideas.
