Our school and library theme this year is all about Connecting and Creating. These are two very important things that must happen in our library on a daily basis.
CONNECT - Students must be given the opportunity to connect with everyone and everything around them. So many times, the library is viewed as a place where we work in isolation and even in silence. That is not true. The library is a place where students can go to work with others, to wonder and to question. There is technology available that can connect them to the world. There are books that con connect them to people, places and ideas that they might never encounter otherwise. Let's make sure that our kids truly connect in the library this year.
CREATE - The library should also be a creative hub. Students need the opportunity to explore and imagine. This year we have added two creation spaces to the library. These are places where students can work on projects assigned by their teachers or even get really creative and make something new and exciting. We hope to incorporate legos in the library as well, both physical and virtual.
This is going to be an awesome year as we allow our students to explore and learn in the library!
Great post! We should all be connecting and creating!
