The Traveling Library

Our traveling library hit the road yesterday! We visited Voyager's 5th & 6th graders, making it easier for students to get a print book in their hands. Sometimes--especially now--it's good to get away from a screen and focus on a book between your hands.

We've set up bi-weekly visits with all our 5-8 groups. This is just one more option for students, who can already request books online for delivery through our library catalog. Keep on reading, friends!

A big shout-out to Library Assistant Ms. Shani, who created & test drove our Traveling Library!

Read Alouds from 5th-8th Graders...

...for Williston K-4 students.

Our first project in Library Essential Arts class was to create a read aloud for Williston K-4 students. Middle school students chose a favorite book--from home or from the school library--and created a read aloud. They photographed & cropped pictures from the books, placed them in a slide show, and recoded voice narration using Screencastify, all with their Chromebooks!

When their read-aloud was uploaded to our closed district site, they invited a K-4 teacher of their choice to listen to their read aloud.

Nicely done, middle schoolers!
