🏫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.
