O.k. Here we go! This is me trying to add photo's of the current library work station and the getting to know your library activity. Wish me luck..

1.Teachers and students interact with this activity in a number of ways. They can work as individuals, pairs or groups in order to locate all areas etc. The labels can be removed from the wall and handed out to children as a scavenger hunt type activity and of course there is always the race is on challenge where the person, pair or groups to locate all items on the list first is the winner. Of course with the youner classess a little a a time is always a better option. I would love to hear what others think and to hear about what you are trying in your library. = D

2. At the moment there is no real work space as we are in a classroom waiting for the new library to be completed. Poor Carol just finds a spot a goes for it!

  1. Thank you for the good idea. Our library should be finished during term 2 and this will be a good way to create an orientation activity that would suit different ages of students and give teachers a range of options for using the activities over more than one session.

    Carol is in the same situation as our library volunteer, Bill. He is in a corner of a corridor with a teensy desk right now. There are other building works going on, so no class spaces are free. Neither of us can wait until we get to set up the work room! (I won't post a pic of the current situation - might get done for librarian abuse...)
