Donalyn Miller's book The Book Whisperer is giving me all sorts of ideas for our School Library Systems' mini- grant opportunity. "Creating a School Community of Readers" is our goal! Free voluntary reading is the key and the solution to helping students thrive! I'm thankful our school district has started a summer reading program for our elementary school this year and that I'm an integral part of it all! I think free voluntary reading needs to happen more during the school year. I'm excited to be using the Cool Tools Summer 2015 course work to find creative technological ways to help students find their way to books! |
