    Program purpose and theme- This is a summer reading program that incorporates the ideas of book choice to encourage reading for fun, and peer recommendation to encourage others to read, joined with hands-on classes and art kits. 
    * Designed as a powerpoint presentation for a library director/staff who would approve the program]]>     2021-07-17 18:05:23 UTC https://padlet.com/tsgruer/Summer21finalprojects/wish/1653431427     Inventors cdbabitz https://padlet.com/tsgruer/Summer21finalprojects/wish/1653457113 Cara Babitz
    Inventors of Famous Inventions
    Elementary School Children
    We use crayons, band-aids, and super soakers all the time, but who invented them and why?  My goal was to get my students thinking about creativity and how they can change the world.

  • Name: Abigail Clarkson
  • Theme or Topic focus: Kids dealing with embarrassing situations
  • Intended Audience: Middle grades, approx. ages 8-12
  • purpose in choosing this topic: The social world is becoming more and more important to children in this age group, and can sometimes be difficult to navigate. I selected books dealing with one of the more difficult social experiences kids can have -- embarrassment, and how the characters in the books cope with that feeling. I tried to choose books which include diversity in gender, racial background, and ability.

    My love of pirates drove me to create this storytime in cooperation with the Asheboro Children's Room. I asked the ladies if they wouldn't mind incorporating it into their summer programing and they loved the idea. This story time covers so many important skills for littles like fine motor skills and gross motor skills.

    I wanted to do a programming series on pollinators, learning how to plant a garden, and where our food comes from.  I am planning on proposing this to our Youth Services Librarian! This program series is intended for children ages 4-7. I am currently taking a community gardening class, and we are planning to start a community garden at Paddison. This would be a great way to get our younger patrons involved!

    Theme:  Inspiring true stories about animals.
    Audience: Third Grade
    Purpose: This book talk is intended to encourage students to read through appealing stories written about animals. These picture books tell true stories of animals and their relationships with humans and/or other animals. Most children have an affinity with animals and these picture books are inspiring. The stories help students build connections and awareness of animals within the world around them. They teach empathy, understanding, and the importance of treating animals with care and respect.

The focus is to draw awareness and build knowledge about those who have a disability. ~My intended audience is k-6th grade. 
    ~I have a disability. I know how it feels to have others stare or believe that my disability limits me. This book talk will hopefully allow students to see that disabilities are not bad and that it is okay to notice differences. ]]>     2021-07-19 22:41:21 UTC https://padlet.com/tsgruer/Summer21finalprojects/wish/1655154722     Anxiety in Children's Lit ejpattman https://padlet.com/tsgruer/Summer21finalprojects/wish/1655224420
  • Theme: Titles that reflect children's anxieties, coping mechanisms and emotions
  • Audience: Librarians and readers ages 3-12
  • Purpose: These titles can be used in a few ways including as recommended titles for children that might be struggling with anxiety so they can have literature to relate to or as part of a unit on emotions/mental health/mindfulness.

The intended audience are toddlers and preschoolers, or anyone that enjoys picture books but does not enjoy going to sleep. I chose this topic because I have a toddler myself, and I hope that showing books that all end with the characters eventually tiring themselves out might help other little ones do the same.

    Intended Audience: 4th and 5th graders
    Purpose: The current 4th and 5th graders didn't get to learn about Battle of the Books. Last year our school didn't participate in Battle of the Books. I'm hoping that we get to participate this year. The booktalk gives a brief overview of Battle of the Books. I chose to include three books from different genres-realistic fiction, science fiction, and horror.]]>     2021-07-20 00:48:28 UTC https://padlet.com/tsgruer/Summer21finalprojects/wish/1655282986     Meet me in the Shadows! zabalok https://padlet.com/tsgruer/Summer21finalprojects/wish/1656001181 Name-Meet me In the Shadows Book talk.
    Theme- Contemporary Horror for children inspired by Alvin Schwartz's Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark.
    Audience- 3-5th grade students
    Purpose- The purpose for choosing these three contemporary books Nightmare Soup, Scary Stories to Tell if You Dare, and Skeleton in Your Closet and other Scary Stories. These three books are inspired by the classic Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark by Alvin Schwartz. Today you still have a hard time finding books that are true horror for children. ]]>     2021-07-20 14:18:32 UTC https://padlet.com/tsgruer/Summer21finalprojects/wish/1656001181     Themed Juvenile Book Kits klvanbec https://padlet.com/tsgruer/Summer21finalprojects/wish/1656030880 These Juvenile book kits are an aim at getting kids a bookclub/program like experience in the safety of their own home. I wanted to design this as public libraries are still offering limited programming and hours to patrons due to the pandemic. Because children can not yet be vaccinated some parents also do not feel comfortable attending what we do offer. These kits are aimed for children aged 3-5 and include a themed book and supplemental activity pairing. I designed this as a google classroom. ]]> 2021-07-20 14:49:03 UTC https://padlet.com/tsgruer/Summer21finalprojects/wish/1656030880 Karen Stokes kestokes https://padlet.com/tsgruer/Summer21finalprojects/wish/1656064938 Theme: Sensory Storytime
    Intended Audience: Children ages 3-9, with parent or caregiver
    Purpose: Sensory Storytime is a weekly interactive program that includes books, sensory play, and other early literacy-based activities carefully selected to engage an exceptional audience. ]]>     2021-07-20 15:27:59 UTC https://padlet.com/tsgruer/Summer21finalprojects/wish/1656064938     Yoga Summer Program https://padlet.com/tsgruer/Summer21finalprojects/wish/1656113627 Lindsey Powers

    Theme: Virtual Yoga Summer Storytime that's main focus is to destress and relax children after the pandemic, include story times and literacy throughout the summer, and teach mindfulness practices. 

    Intended audience: Children K-5

    Purpose: To destress children! They've had such a hard year and to start fresh in the Fall they need to relax and get their bearings. Also, this summer program helps to prevent the summer slide by including read alouds. ]]>     2021-07-20 16:27:02 UTC https://padlet.com/tsgruer/Summer21finalprojects/wish/1656113627     Battle of the Book Books! Tiffany Serviss tjservis https://padlet.com/tsgruer/Summer21finalprojects/wish/1656137044 I chose three books from the Battle of the Books list for this coming school year that had a common theme of Courage.  The books chosen are Ban this Book by Alan Gratz, The Parker Inheritance by Varian Johnson, and From the Desk of Zoe Washington by Janae Marks.  The purpose of the book talks is to entice 4th and 5th graders at my school to join in a small group to read these books and join in the Battle of the Books Competition this coming school year.  I recorded this using Screencastomatic for the very first time.  I do hope that the audio is good - as I am currently in Florida and was sitting outside to avoid my family talking :) ]]> 2021-07-20 16:57:56 UTC https://padlet.com/tsgruer/Summer21finalprojects/wish/1656137044 Erika Thompson esthompson5 https://padlet.com/tsgruer/Summer21finalprojects/wish/1656151805
  • "Hidden Gems" Within Your Library- Amazing Books by Margaret Peterson Haddix 
  • 4th through 6th grade students (However, I LOVED them as an adult)
  • I chose this topic to feature some interesting books that are in most libraries that students are not familiar about. Some of the books are/have been Battle of the Books books; however, I feel it is beneficial for many other students to discover her series and books. The books she publishes are truly amazing reads and will cover the many diverse interest in reading that many students have.

    Audience: Upper elementary school
    Purpose: I really wanted to choose a topic that would highlight diverse titles. I think the three books I chose showed three unique experiences and a lot of students will be able to relate to the characters, even if they are not immigrants.

    • For grades 4 and up.
    • I think it's important that students feel comfortable using the library without requiring help. It fosters a feeling of independence, and will bring more students in as they will already be familiar with how things work.

    Theme: Secret Mission

    Target audience: Rising 7th and 8th graders

    Purpose: The rising 7th graders will be new to the upper campus and its library, and a summer overhaul of the space and the website means the 8th graders won’t be familiar with the new layout either.  Both grades need to know how the library space and the library website are organized, where they can find the resources they want/need, and how to access them.

    Purpose: Recently, we have received a lot of requests for beginner chapter books from kids and parents.  Each time we have to find them in the collection.  With this resource, we can have a go to place for children to explore what starter chapter books we have available and also what starter chapter books we can request from other libraries.]]>     2021-07-20 23:44:12 UTC https://padlet.com/tsgruer/Summer21finalprojects/wish/1656359774
