Kindergarteners Searching for the Gingerbread Man

On Friday, the Kindergarteners came to the library as part of their unit on learning about different parts of our school.  Since they were also on the hunt for the Gingerbread Boy, I chose to read two stories to them. 

 Kindergarteners are really learning how to use their listening skills.  They were so much fun to share stories with.  I just hope they follow the crumbs and be able to catch the Gingerbread Boy!  Good luck Kindergarteners!



Librarian Self-Challenge Update

 

Not unlike many of my students, I started reading the picture books first.  My Shelfari to the right of this page will show the books I have read.  Most of the time a picture book will win the Texas Bluebonnet Award, but we shall see.

 

Some of the books I enjoyed, and others are taking me a little longer to complete.  But perhaps I will continue to challenge myself throughout the school year and finish all 20 titles.

 

I am anxious to see which Texas Bluebonnet Award nominee books my students enjoy most!

Lights! Camera! Action!   

Well I am in a two week workshop titled 25+ Ways to Use iPads in your Library through ESC Region XI.  Desi Beard, a Library Media/Technology Specialist from Lake Dallas ISD is our instructor.  We are learning really great ways to use iPads in the library.  For my Show and Tell, I made the following iMovie on my iPad.  I know that the more I use this app, the better I will get at it.

This is my first YouTube Video.

Crockett Librarian Reading Self-Challenge



OK, I've put forth this self-challenge as a goal to read as many Texas Bluebonnet Award nominee books before school starts (August 26th)!  After all, I can't really ask my 3rd through 6th graders to "Read 5, Then Decide"  if I haven't at least read some of them.  So I created a Shelfari on this home page that shows the books I will be reading.  I will make comments in the form of a review after reading each book. Wish me luck!
