What Does Library/STEAM Look Like During a Pandemic?
This past year has taught us so much about what we can learn at a distance! The Spring brought on some great challenges, but we had fun learning how far our technology could take us to keep us connected and learning. Fast forward to preparing for the school year, and it didn't look like we were going to be able to service our students with Library books, nonetheless STEAM curriculum. However, we have gotten really good at thinking outside the box!
We need to keep our students and staff safe, so it wasn't possible to start the year off with all classes coming into the Library. So, we brought the Library to the classrooms - kind of. We created Library Book Buses (or Library on a cart), separated by grade level selections. These "Library on a Cart" buses are pushed down to classrooms for their weekly Library/STEAM class times. In addition, 3rd and 4th grade students can make special requests, which are pulled for them and delivered within the same school day.
Besides figuring out how to service our students with Library resources, we also spent September teaching students how to properly use technology in a safe way. It was a busy month, but we were off to a great start! 💛📚~Mrs. Richards
