WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE STORYTIMES, LIBRARY LESSONS, AND DIGITAL BULLETIN BOARDS?
Library Storytimes
The September Library Bundle includes four Library Storytimes – Grandparents, Mexico, Autumn, and The Color Red. These are for younger grades, typically PreK-Grade 2 or 3.
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.
The scavenger hunt for Part II includes a version with minimal text that does not require reading to complete.
Standards-aligned lesson plans (editable) are also included. Standards include: CCSS, AASL, and TEKS (Texas).
Library Lessons
There are two Library Lessons in this September Library Bundle – Hispanic Heritage Month and Johnny Appleseed.
My Library Lessons are for older students, typically Grades 2-5. If you want to use them with younger students, you can do that by shortening the number of slides and/or editing the text as needed.
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
This September Library Bundle includes three Digital Bulletin Boards – September Holidays and Celebrations, Mexico, and Autumn.
Digital Bulletin Boards are longer scrolling slideshows for elementary students that can read text.
Two of these Digital Bulletin Boards include Recommended Reads and two differentiated scavenger hunt activities. The September Holidays and Celebrations Digital Bulletin Board also includes Take-Home Extension Activities.
*Please note that the Autumn Digital Bulletin Board does NOT currently include a scavenger hunt or recommended reads. I am working to add them in August 2024. You will have access to all future updates for all resources in this bundle, so don’t worry! It’s coming!
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 activities and are not designed as lessons. They do not include lesson plans. They do help keep students entertained so the librarian can deal with book checkout!
ARE ANY SLIDES IN THE SEPTEMBER ELEMENTARY LIBRARY BUNDLE DUPLICATED?
Nope! While some information may be similar between lower elementary and upper elementary slideshows with similar topics (such as the Mexico Storytime and the Mexico Digital Bulletin Board), no two slides or pages are the same in these lessons and activities. They are very different from one another.
