Hi Everyone,
As a result of a construction project at my school, our library closed 6 weeks
before the end of school. I was able to keep out materials I'd use for the
remainder of the year before I packed everything else for storage. It seems to be
a reality that although the rest of the school will be ready for the first day of
school...the library won't be ready until mid-October. Obviously, I don't have
materials pulled out of storage that I'd normally use at the beginning of the year.
My plan for 3rd and 4th grade, and maybe 2nd too, is to take them to our new
computer lab for lessons on internet, databases and our newly upgraded library
software, etc.
So, my question is: Does anyone have successful ideas of projects or lessons
you've done by integrating INTO the classroom? I don't want to spend the 1st 6
weeks of school just "putting in time" with no real purpose (our program includes a
20-30 minute book selection time for all classes and then integrated lessons as
needed). I guess there's always the possibility of getting books I'd usually use
from another library, but this seemed like a good opportunity to enhance our
integrated library program. Thanks for your help!
