Welcome back 2017-2018!

It has been an exciting summer and I have started at my new school! I am now the school librarian at The Avery Coonley School, an independent, private, gifted school in the suburbs of Chicago. I have been busy introducing myself and learning about the school, students, staff, and curriculum, along with the parents and the things that make ACS special!




To share about myself and have a quick display, I am having my students make this: https://goo.gl/knBG88. I show them my ABC book and we learn about some of my favorites, including how much I love hugs! I now get hugs every time I walk down the hall, how can you beat that?






To get my Kinders started in checking out, we are exploring and practicing.

Starting in October, we will checkout, and I will send home a bookmark for the kids to color and help remind themselves and their families to be kind to their library book.
