About Me
- Miss Newcomer
- Welcome to my Library Lessons and idea page. I teach in a small International School library where many of my students do not speak or read English well. I am the sole librarian who runs the library program. I teach all 8 elementary grades 1 time a week for 30-50 minutes. I also teach computer classes to 4 lower elementary classes. Before I became librarian I taught many other things including: 2nd grade, Kindergarten, and Middle School Social Studies. I actually went to school to teach all of those things I'm currently in the library (who knows for how long) and I wanted to be able to share lessons easily with others who might be in the same position. Feel free to use the ideas you find here. If I've borrowed an idea from someone else, I will do my best to give them credit. If you have ideas you would like to contribute please feel free to share them. All of the lessons I post here are things I have tried myself. If something is unclear or you are looking for a worksheet that isn't attached, please comment and I'll be happy to help if I can. I hope this helps you!

This is very nice! I would love to borrow some of your questions for a similar activity at my school... BTW, my students are in America and they don't read or speak English well either ;^) (2nd/3rd graders!)
ReplyDeleteBorrowing! My passive programming spring break needs something like this. Thanks!
