WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE STORYTIMES, LIBRARY LESSONS, AND DIGITAL BULLETIN BOARDS?

Library Storytimes

The April Library Bundle includes two Library Storytimes – Nursery Rhymes and Spring Flowers. These are for younger grades, typically K-2.

Part I – All my Library Storytimes include a librarian- or teacher-led, whole-group lesson or activity (Part I). Part I includes a song or poem, sign language, and group discussion.

Part II – This an independent activity, designed to keep students on-task during library checkout. The scrolling slideshow can be part of a lesson, or it can just scroll on a monitor. The scavenger hunt includes images for students to find (and color) in Part II of the scrolling slideshow.

Library Lessons

There are three Library Lessons in this April bundle – Solar Eclipse 2024, Earth Day, and Haiku.

My Library Lessons are for older students, typically Grades 2-5. The Solar Eclipse and Earth Day Library Lessons can be used with younger students, too. You may want to shorten the length of the slideshows for younger students.

Part I – Like the Storytimes, the the Library Lessons include two parts. The first part is a whole-group discussion activity. It includes a song or poem, sign language, and group discussion. This first part is designed to be librarian- or teacher-led.

Part II – Like the Storytimes, the second part of the Library Lesson is a scrolling slideshow about that topic. This comes with a differentiated scavenger hunt activity that goes with the slideshow.

The Storytimes and Library Lessons in this bundle all come with librarian-curated Recommended Reads lists and editable, standards-aligned lesson plans. Standards include: CCSS, AASL, and TEKS (Texas).

Digital Bulletin Boards

There is one Digital Bulletin Board – April Holidays and Celebrations – in the April Bundle. Digital Bulletin Boards are a longer scrolling slideshow. They also include curated Recommended Reads lists and two differentiated scavenger hunt activities.

The April Digital Bulletin Board and Eclipse 2024 Library Lesson each also include a 2-page handout of themed home extension activities. These are ideal to hand out at the end of library time.

Librarians / teachers can certainly use some slides as a lesson, but it does not have two separate parts like the Storytimes and Library Lessons have.

Digital Bulletin Boards are designed as an independent library activity. They are like Storytimes and Library Lessons, but the Part I whole-group lesson is excluded. The scrolling slideshows are also longer than in the Storytimes and Library Lessons.

The Digital Bulletin Board is not designed as a lesson, so it does not include a lesson plan. It does help keep students entertained so the librarian can deal with book checkout!

ARE ANY SLIDES IN THE APRIL LIBRARY LESSON BUNDLE DUPLICATED?

Nope! While some information may be similar, no two slides or pages are the same in these library lessons. They are very different from one another.
