Dear P,
It’s been a pleasure working with you for the last two years, bringing my first grade and then second grade class to the library.
The children looked forward to coming to the library once a week; they enjoyed selecting books that they would later read in class. The library class helped reinforce skills and the content areas we were learning in class.
For instance when we were working on Story Maps and understanding characters, setting, problem and solution, you recommended books by Pollaco, Arthur Lobel and Eric Carle.
When we were working on Greek Myths you read books about Theses, Odyesses and Cyclops. When we were studying geography you reinforced map skills by showing our students a globe, encyclopedias that had information on the continents, pictures of the oceans, river and lakes. You also read, how I found myself on the map, that the students enjoyed and then you asked them questions that helped us assess student understanding.
I think my students really benefited by coming to the library. They learnt to respect books, by turning pages carefully. We learnt about what students were interested in from hamsters, to puppies to star wars, history and planets.
Thank you for all your support and help to make learning creative, interesting and fun!
Regards
