2019 Library

Our back-to-school story time was a very basic introduction to the routines of the library.  

Lots of your students have never been to or seen a library! 

Welcome Song:
 Welcome to the library, library, library. 
 Welcome to the library, please come inside and read. (to the tune of London Bridge)

Books:  
  The Pigeon Has to Go to School! by Mo Willems
  We Don't Eat Our Classmates by Ryan Higgins
  
I brought my guitar to start teaching students the songs we sing (classic children's and camp songs, as well as some old folk and pop!)  Repetition helps build confidence!

We took pictures of our students for their library cards (believe me, some of them don't recognize their names so the picture greatly helps them... and it helps us to learn names faster!) and colored some favorite coloring pages while listening to music on the radio.

Looks like this is going to be a great year!
