Valentines Day -- Digital Library Lesson

This product is a combination of Digital Storytime and Digital Bulletin Board. Many elementary librarians have been purchasing both the Digital Storytimes and Digital Bulletin Boards for each weekly theme. Combining them into one product saves you money and time. I’ve covered all grades here, from K-6.

This K-6 library lesson will save you so much time! You just need to add your school’s information to a few slides (weekly agenda, birthdays) and select your read-aloud.

Needed to open and edit: Google™ Slides OR PowerPoint; ability to open PDF documents

Recommended for Grades: K-6

Includes:

• 63-slide PPT + Google™ Slides–all text is editable; you choose which slides you want to use.
• 38 slides are “scrolling presentation” slides that are great for extending lessons or scrolling in the library during checkout and downtimes.
• All 14 recommended books in the presentation are also listed on a separate “Recommended Reads” list. The list is great to hand out to parents, teachers, and students looking for high-quality, interesting books related to the theme of hearts.
