There’s nothing like animals to attract even the most reluctant students to the library. Come find out how dogs helped turn average units into special events. I will share ways to invite the community to assist you in teaching units/lessons like state or animal research, communications and best of all, reading aloud. All students in elementary school (or even older) can benefit from something as friendly as a wagging tail and a little bit of drool. Concerns about allergies will be addressed in a question/answer session at the end. Pat Burgstahler, LMS, T. Jefferson ES, Buffalo.

For over 30 years, the Orchard Park Central School Librarians advocated for flexible scheduling and finally 3 years ago, the NYS Physical Education Requirement provided the opportunity to take grades 3-5 out of the fixed schedule. The goal that Collaborative projects would fill the void in the library education of the intermediate grades was not achieved to the extent desired during the first year. It was imperative that something be done. About this time, the AASL Standards for the Twenty First Learner were announced. What a great way to marry collaboration, standards and students’ needs for information literacy skills. This program will describe the process used to develop standards-based rigorous and relevant learning experiences that focus on assessment data and how they are used and shared. - Cathie Marriott, Director of Technology and Information Services, Orchard Park CS and Jim Clark, LMS, Windom Elementary School Lesson Template Example of a converted lesson [|Orchard Park Collaborations]

Kamishibai is a versatile and effective tool to introduce and reinforce listening, reading and writing skills. This form of storytelling originated in Japan. Most Kamishibai stories consist of 12 or 16 large (15" x 10.5") sturdy, beautifully illustrated cards. On the back, is the English translation of the text, with the original Japanese beside. Many of the stories are folk tales that convey traditional themes. Kamishibai is usually “performed” with a traditional card theater and is suitable for large or small groups. Popular in the 1920s – 1940s, the Japaneses Kamishibai Man would strap a small wooden stage onto his bicycle and would travel from town to town performing his stories and selling candy to the children who came to listen. Participants will learn history of Kamishibai and how to incorporate it into library curriculum. - Maureen Spada, LMS, Bennett ES, Onteora CSD
