First library visit:
With the Kindergarten & grade 1 class, I will be introducing the library with this video using the book The Library Doors by Toni Buzzeo
Using Scaredy Squirrel to introduce the library, library rules, and book care.
Youtube has a video
Then for an activity page - draw 4 things that Scaredy Squirrel was afraid of (disadvangtages in the video) a page from http://www.thecurriculumcorner.com/2013/04/25/scaredy-squirrel-books-by-melanie-watt/
Mrs. Kelly's Media Centre:
This is a great website teaching many aspects of a library collection - both fiction and nonfiction. It then continues with learning about the internet. Each section is nicely laid out with instruction as well as a short quiz. As students gain knowledge and finish each section a puzzle piece is their reward. The final puzzle piece is part of an American search. The last year I did this I just substituted a page of relevent internet questions that resulted in the final puzzle piece.
