I was playing on Pinterest as I often do before bed and stumbled across this awesome scope and sequence for the elementary school library-media center curriculum developed by the Council Rock School District in Newton, Pennsylvania. I think it will be helpful as I prepare for the End of Year Family Night this week at Moye. I have been asked to present what the children have learned in the library this year and coincidentally, this scope and sequence provides an excellent outline of the instruction I have provided our mountain lions.
I hope to be able to interview a few students from each grade level to get some direct quotes from our babies about what they have learned in the library in their own words. I can list all of the things I think and hope the children have learned but hearing it from the proverbial "horse's mouth" or out of the "mouth of babes" will be more meaningful and more direct.
Stay tuned here for more about my presentation and what the children tell me about their year in the library.
This has been a difficult school year. I have gone from feeling optimistic in October to feeling discouraged and sad in February. But the students at Moye always find the most amazing ways to boost my spirits and make everything all better. Yesterday, while teaching a class in the library, one of our sweet third grade girls came to the library to bring me a very special treat. I found her gift, a snow globe with a cross on top, beside my computer after I finished teaching but I wasn't sure which wonderful third grade girl had remembered me with the thoughtful surprise.
Today the students in 3C came to the library to finish the lesson we started yesterday and I learned that the snow globe was the gift of Valeria D. I can't begin to explain how very meaningful Valeria's beautiful present was to me. I have been struggling with some decisions in my life but Valeria helped me see my way more clearly. There is no where I would rather be than working with the best babies in the world at H.R. Moye Elementary School and I think Valeria was the messenger of that message from God to me.
