=Librarian's Plan Book=

A year's round of lessons prepared in collaboration with teachers appear on this wiki so you can tell exactly what I have done with your students.

These are mostly full-blown plans --- The section //**In the hall -**//- is the result of quick collaborations that often occur int he halls, i.e. "Could you do something quick with my kids about historical fiction?" These are spur-of-the-moment or as-need, and are more fluid, but no less important.

Just click on the links in the sidebar by grade level and then by the month of the year to access the lessons..

Feel free to contact me if you have questions or suggestions. at karen.mcintyre@mnps.org

=Read Across America - March=

=Celebration Of Nations - November= Each class chose a nation --- Specialty teachers planned activities around four continents (Europe, Africa, Asia, South America) Lessons in the library incorporated information literacy, map skills, and stories from those countries. Parents who either came from other countries or had parents recently emigrated from those countries were drawn to be involved in meaningful ways both in the classroom and at the concluding Celebration Day. Children arrived with their bags (stamped with travel stamps and carried their passports to each country where the passports were stamped, and received a memento from each country visited.

Each grade level visited their neighbors and were entertained by the presentations about the class country and then went to the gym where representatives from countries from around the world shared information about their home countries.
