Check out all the exciting programs I have planned for the 2017-2018 school year! Now since I'm not officially employed as a school librarian, all of these programs were written for Anderson Elementary's library, which already has an amazing librarian named Margaret Resendez, who is not going anywhere.
This yearly plan is part of my graduate work at Sam Houston State University where I am wrapping up my graduate program. Although this is an artifact written for my Library Science Portfolio, it is a working plan that can be easily adapted for any elementary school. Each link leads to a Google Doc with my ideas for each month as well as a book list created using the Anderson Elementary OPAC. I am really excited about my books choices and all the literacy programs I've put together. I'd love to hear your thoughts, so please feel free to include your comments on the Google Doc or at the end of this post.
