I enjoyed reading the Cornerstone E-letter. It provides so much in-sight and resources. I am sure to rely on it monthly. I added the dates from "check your calendars" to this blog for September. I plan on updating monthly to show what is happening in the "library world." I also looked at what was available for handouts. I plan on sharing the handouts to the teachers when I tell them about the wonderful resources available through SDSL website! I know they will want to use them as much as I enjoyed learning about them. I plan on keeping an eye out for up-coming training that will fit into my schedule. Right now, my weekday is pretty well booked with library lessons and reading enrichment, so hopefully some evening and weekend training will be available. I haven't had any extra time to play around with the website (or as much as I like to) but I did come across a puppetry site that I thought would be a excellent resource for me. I always wanted to incorporate puppets into the lessons since I work with young children. Plus, I think puppets would make great reading buddies for the children. I read somewhere you can use old stuffed animals and convert them into puppets. I better get looking at rummages and 2nd hand stores! I plan on promoting the resources to the 3rd grade students who will be doing a research project for me. Worldbook-kids, will work great for this assignment. I plan to use the fun and engaging activities I read about in Corner Stone and on the SDSL web page and integrate them into library skills lessons.
Thanks for all the wonderful resources. I would not have known they were available if I did not hear about this challenge! I look forward to many more great ideas and resources!
