AAHH-CHOO!The Librarian on the Loose presented a totally sick storytime https://librarianisontheloose.wordpress.com/2015/10/01/achoo-its-a-sick-storytime/ Note how she includes a Early Literacy tip within her storytime plan. Hacking HealthWhen I was small ‘hacking’ and coughing was a precursor to some sort of illness. Now…not so much! But, a Maryland school library and the University of Maryland created an afterschool program to HackHealth–to learn about health issues and to gain skills in researching. UMD has also shared their blueprints/lesson plans for these afterschool programs. http://yalsa.ala.org/blog/2015/10/01/hacking-health-and-literacy-in-the-library/ DIY Programs: Stories in ActionSeveral libraries are using tables as creation spaces or DIY programs. Cover a table with kraft paper…invite kids and their parents and caregivers to express themselves! It can be open-ended or pose a question and invite artists to pictorially answer a question.http://brycedontplay.blogspot.com/2014/06/slp-stories-in-action-table.htmlAND http://hafuboti.com/2014/02/26/table-top-time/ MakerSpace, STEAM –it’s all at the libraryhave you tried GRAVITY PAINTING? It looks to be a bit messy but OH–so, much fun. Combining Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math–STEAM….Greatfamily programming. http://adventuresofachildrenslibrarian.com/2015/09/10/little-makers-gravity-painting/ All my best… Lorie Lorie Brown Youth Services/Interlibrary Loan |
