Library news, class projects, new books, and more! Websites for Winter Break. While you are enjoying your Winter Break, you may have some extra time on your hands, and maybe, just maybe, you will find yourself staring at a blank computer screen, wondering what to do. (Or you'll have played the same game for so long that your eyes are starting to hurt. Time to do something different! Something : gasp: educational!

King School Library: Library News & Statistics

http://kingschoollibrary.blogspot.com/2012/05/library-news-statistics.html

Library news, class projects, new books, and more! Library News and Statistics. So, I've been working hard on putting together a report of what I've accomplished these two years at the King School Library. I could have gone on and on about all of my wonderful experiences and projects, but then I thought, "Who's actually going to read all of that? Instead, I've highlighted the main points, and if you've been here at all, you'll know all the extra special and non-quantifiable things I do too. :).

Library news, class projects, new books, and more! Library lessons in first and second grade usually involve some kind of read-aloud. Especially now that we're working on reading the books nominated for the Monarch Award. The Illinois Readers Choice Award for grades K-3. We have a poster of the 20 Monarch nominees by the reading chair in the library, and students love to see what we've already read and what we'll read soon. Check the library catalog. To see which books are nominated this year! We receive...

Library news, class projects, new books, and more! I thought and dreamed about what my last King School Library blog post would look like, but honestly, nothing seemed to jump out at me. I already sent out the Biennial Report. Which I'm enormously proud of, and I've thanked our library helpers with a flashy little infographic. Some of Ms. Sapkarov's favorite books! The Lion and the Mouse. Sojourner Truth's Step-Stomp Stride. By Andrea Davis Pinkney. Sit-In: How Four Friends Stood Up by Sitting Down.

Library news, class projects, new books, and more! Home away from home. Living in Italy has been wonderful this past month. It actually feels like home away from home. Genoa. Is very easy to get around by foot, bus, or train, and I have visited many parks, museums, libraries (duh), shops, and towns. I took my first boat ride the weekend before last, just around the marina, and have taken two more since! I haven't strayed too far from Genoa. Some of my favorite things so far:. Oh, the food! No one should ...

Library news, class projects, new books, and more! What I'm Reading This Month. In the fall, I participated in a district book club, and we read Igniting a Passion for Reading. By Steven Layne. Layne gave lots of great ideas about how to inspire your students to read more and be excited about it. One of the things we're trying to do at King School is to show students that reading is important, and as adults, we do it too. So, outside of our doors, you'll find a little something like this:. For their 28 D...

Library news, class projects, new books, and more! Italian libraries and bookstores. I know that summer vacation is supposed to be about relaxing, spending time in the sun, and enjoying time off from school. but I can't help myself. I had to visit the local library the very first week I got to Nervi, Italy. And I've been to a few bookstores too. Hey, this is fun for me - I'm curious about what Italian children read! Photo also taken at the Nervi public library - Geronimo Stilton is VERY popular! This is ...
