Thanks for the information on Library Sparks. I got
enough positive responses that I am going to try a
subscription. I guess I'm kind of looking for a
"Mailbox" for librarians. Sounds like this is on the
right track.
Next question - periodicals for kids. I'm a 3-4
librarian and I didn't subscribe to any magazines for
kids this year. I have a tight fixed schedule and the
kids don't have time to look at magazines when they
are in class. We didn't allow check out due to the
responsibility issue. They can destroy the best
library bound book - a magazine stands no
chance...even in protective covers. SO. I don't want
to deny them the opportunity to learn, so I'm thinking
about incorporating something into my classes.
Question: Do you know of any good magazines - like
Weekly Readers, etc., that are literacy based - for my
age group? I'd like to subscribe to a class set - say
30, that I could use for all 400+ of my students. I'd
like to have a day set aside every week or two when we
go through the magazine, read the stories, poems, etc,
talk about it and so forth. Good idea, bad idea, what
do you think?
My day is packed now, but that would give them a break
for the ordinary. Let me know what you think!
