🏫Welcome to my virtual library! In this class, students will be taking a virtual trip to my library. In each library session I will share a new book and we will participate in a literacy activity together. I will highlight authors, different genres, award winning books, and most of all, I will help instill the love of reading in each child! Students will learn skills to help them navigate their local library or find online books. 📚Parents will have the option to gain access to my virtual library and be able to enjoy hundreds of online books. 🔷Teaching Style I come to each class full of energy and my excitement about reading is shared with each student as I read aloud a new book each week. I engage students by sharing my screen and using attractive slides, adding in music, encouraging discussions, and playing games. Whether you are an advanced reader or just beginning to read, this is a fun opportunity to explore new books and increase your literacy skills. 📆Schedule Week of May 26th: Topic-Introduction to the library, how to choose the right book for you, Read Aloud: Library Lion Week of June 2nd: Topic: The difference between nonfiction and fiction books, Read Aloud: Giraffes Can't Dance and National Geographic Giraffes Week of June 9th: Topic: Fairytales and Fractured Fairy Tales, Read Aloud: The Gingerbread Man and Three Pigs and a Gingerbread Man Week of June 16: Let's learn about Mo Willems and his characters, Read Aloud: The Pigeon Needs a Bath and Knuffle Bunny
