My Project

I am a new librarian and love helping kids find joy in reading and writing. My students live in a lower-income area and deserve to participate in activities that will allow them to be better readers and writers. My students want to also be engaged from the time they enter the library and when they leave.

My students are learning to understand and appreciate fairy tales and their significance around the world.

I will use the world's most popular fairy tales to help students understand what can be learned from reading fairy tales. Students will use the books "Peter and Wendy", "The Wind in the Willows", "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz", and "The Tailor of Gloucester" to appreciate the differences in the world around us and understand how different fairytales and stories allow us to learn life lessons. They will also use Under Water Math to discuss math in stories.
