March Theme: Woman’s History

Accomplishments

• School wide Read Across America book give-a-way
• Coordinated the delivery of last year’s Title I book order
• Initiated groundwork for storytelling event
• Met with superintendent to discuss vision for library
• Taught Genres to Ms. T’s class
• Taught alliteration class to Ms. R’s class. Also began writing an alliteration book with class.

This month I focused on developing programming. My goal is to create robust programs. My first idea will focus on process of storytelling. What makes a good story? How do you tell it in an interesting way? The process from inspiration to distribution. I want students to know how to express themselves and be able to share it with the world.

February Theme: Diversity

Accomplishments

• Curriculum connected library classes
• Order submitted!
• Contacted BOCES for resource sharing
• Students helped set up Brighton Book Sale

This February the library finally felt its rhythm. Books were checked out, returned, re-shelved. The Title I book order was completed. Various organizations were contacted for potential resource partnerships (BOCES & Brighton Library). Excess books were delivered to the integration waiting room. Ms. R’s class read and learned about curriculum related topics (African American History). Ms. T’s class read Eggs by Jerry Spenelli as a group. We worked together to map the characters, learn new vocabulary and practice reading aloud.
