Since switching over to working as an academic librarian at a community college, there’s a lot of focus on information literacy. It got me thinking, as a parent who has struggled to navigate parenting information, about ways that we can make that accessible to parents. For instance, while I was a children’s librarian, I felt it was important to address the vaccine issue by hosting a panel of health experts and discussing it with parents from an information/health literacy perspective. I made these two comics that cover some basic information literacy concepts. Hopefully, they are useful to your patrons, especially as people are navigating COVID-19 information.

This worksheet was made by me. It features a reading and writing exercise about a woman who is having a holiday at a foreign country. She describes some places that she visited and what she did during her vacations. The grammar focus of this worksheet is past simple. The reading contains two exercises one which is multiple choice and the second is a true and false exercise. Also, in the writing exercise the learners have to make use of linking words which were already taught during the previous classes before I gave this task. However, if you prefer you can start to introduce the connectors while you teach students how to write postcard letters. - ESL worksheets

Had to share a quick picture of a text I recieved from a parent (who is also a co-worker). It made my day as I so respect this teacher and love the child. Since my student's mother is a 7th grade language arts teacher at my school, I assumed that my student would want to be in her mother's room. I guess once again I understand what happens when one assumes (but this time it was a good lesson to learn). I also received a large bag of white chocolate popcorn from this students as well - her mother knows it is a favorite of mine!

This is a bundle activity that I made to help my kiddos practice with their beginning dictionary guide word skills. I made this as a starting point and foundation to my dictionary skills unit. I have included three different activities. The first two pages (front/back) has the kiddos selecting from a variety of words that could fit between two specific guide words (this is repeated 7 times with numerous different guide word sets). The next two pages (front/back) has the kiddos writing yes or no as to whether a variety of words could fit between two specific guide words (each example has 10 words, and there are 4 chances to practice). The last page utilizes the dictionary, and has the kiddos look up 10 (very basic) words...record the page number, along with listing the two corresponding guide words. Hope you enjoy!!

Elementary music teachers have the unique opportunity to teach and touch the lives of nearly every child who attends their school. This creates a special challenge: learning students' names. Name games are a great way to welcome and engage students at the first of a school year, while at the same time, provide opportunities to connect faces and names and assess in-tune singing. Here's a fun name game for younger students that's worked well for me. I'm posting this as a FREEBIE on TPT for my followers and blog visitors in hopes you will find it a useful and joyful way to build rapport during the first quarter of the school year. This 7-page packet in PDF format includes two singing games, detailed lesson guides, and printable/projectable graphics to enhance the lessons. I have used my Note-able Font and Colorful Music Clip Art to create this and demonstrate these products in action. Enjoy : ) Another very useful technique for getting to know students' names is to create seating charts for each class. Yes, this takes time, but it's so worthwhile to see a child's face light up when you call him/her by name! (And after calling a student by his/her correct name a few times, I find I can remember it). Here is a unique elementary music seating chart/roll template I developed in an effort to keep everything on one page - seat boxes for names with record keeping boxes attached to each 'seat.' The chart is laid out as the teacher sees the room from the front, and it groups students for quick teaming and collaborative work. I always keep an aisle down the center of the rows to facilitate proximity/behavior management and easy movement. Even though elementary classes involve a lot of movement and activity, having assigned spots makes classroom management much easier. Students know where to go as they enter the room, and I'm able to quickly record attendance, pass-offs, behavior issues, etc. You can print the sheet I'm posting here (just click on it to save and print), or you can find an editable template in Word format here: All-in-One Seating, Roll and Record Chart - Editable Template What do you think of this? Would it work for you? Have you developed a seating/record keeping system you'd like to share? If so please describe it in a comment box.
