I hope everyone is adjusting to our most recent new normal of being back in the buildings. I apologize for not getting this issue out sooner. I, myself, have been getting acclimated to my role as a librarian during this time of change, continuing to try and find ways to best serve you and our students. While library visits and checking out books may not be an option at this time at several of the State Agency Schools, please remember I am here to help in any way that I can. The infographic below highlights some of the services I can provide to you and/or your students.

My schedule is as follows, but because we are not doing scheduled check outs at most places, I can be flexible if you need me.

Monday - Louisville Day (flexible)

Tuesday - Peace Academy (flexible)

Wednesday - Telecommuting

Thursday - HOTI (I have scheduled check outs)

Friday - Brooklawn (flexible)

With a science background, Earth Day is one of my favorite days! This year's theme is "Restore The Earth" and I'm including in this edition links to some great resources for celebrating Earth Day in the classroom, including this one to Earthday.org.

Be sure to check them out!

Below are some read alouds that can be used for Earth Day in the classroom. Some are from You Tube, and a couple are read alouds I did with the encouragement of our fearless leader, Heather Moss! After telling her how I HATE hearing my voice on recordings, she simply said "well I just had to get over it" so I did!

I hope you can use them!
