I put together a new reading area for the students. The rug feels like Astroturf so you get the feel of reading outside without the insects.

I've started posting a Newsela article for students to read each week and discuss. I don't shy away from much. So far we've read about RBG when she passed away, Columbus Day vs. Indigenous People's Day, Election 2020 (facts, not opinions), the need for books with diverse characters, etc. It's been so interesting!!

For a Balloons Over Broadway lesson for 3-5th graders, I'm using TEAMS to have our STEM teacher who is 100% online to join us for some co-teaching. It has been awesome! This week the kids are going to her on my computer to share their designs, once she approves them they come to me for supplies.
Next week we'll present! 3rd and 4th will do a "parade" through the cafeteria and 5th will video theirs using Dash robot and green screen! I can't wait!

This year two things have come together to allow me to be invited to and attend PLC's: an amazing principal who values the librarian role as a leader in the school and the flex schedule!
I've had so many more opportunities to share resources right when they are needed, meet grade level needs for enrichment, and target my lessons to match exactly what students are doing in the classroom. It's so great!

Friendsgiving with Homeec - we made air dry clay share plates, made bread in a bag and butter in a jar - this was a week long maker and at the end we had a feast with bread and butter.  So much fun.

HS worked with ES - journalism wrote stories for the little kids.  They recorded themselves reading the story and made a bookmark with a QR code to go with the book.

This doesn't have much to do with the library, but I have morning duty in the cafeteria for breakfast.  While not all the students are in there, the ones that are allow me more chances to visit with them in a casual setting, giving them a chance to speak with me about anything.  I like this time with the kids as it does allow me to learn more about them and sometimes their home life, which in turn, can give insight on a child.

We are teaching our students to continue reading, researching, and exploring by using accessing our ebook collection and using our databases and other digital resources.

I start every lesson by giving my students an opportunity to share something about themselves.  It gives me a chance to see what their interests and passions are and helps me to create a library program that meets their needs.  Elementary librarian are lucky to have their students for SIX years!  I love seeing them grow and make a difference through their passion projects.

Last year, I was able to use Google Sites to build curated websites that had links to videos, databases, topical websites as well as my presentation.

It helped me to go through the presentation (and not forget anything), but I would also tell the students, "If you forget everything I just said, click there and you'll get it." -Y. Shelby, AHS

The middle school PLC- the Schoology Group, The live meetings and the continuous TEAMS chat is all on point, and it is making programming so much easier.

I use YouTube, Instagram, Twitter (but that one is more for adults) and am learning TikTok to promote the library and reading to catch the kiddos' attention.

I have a grade level about to start using Excel in their classrooms so I offered to introduce the program. We voted two weeks ago on the topic they wanted to cover (canned food drive, book fair, game stop shopping).
They picked book fair. (Yay because we are having a virtual book fair now!) So the kids are making a wish list in excel. Skills include: Practicing copy and paste on devices with no mouse, auto sum the cost of the books, calculating shipping, OneDrive assignments (opening & submitting), and emailing their parents.

One of the best ways to promote reading is through book giveaways. I use Scholastic points to choose a winning class or we play Book Bingo at the end of the year.
