The Power of the School Librarian....A Wonderful Infographic From Our Friends At Capstone To Support, Share and Celebrate Our Role As School Librarians!

 

As we head into another school year, it is the perfect time for us to celebrate, share and educate others about the importance and impact of school librarians and libraries. 

The Power of the School Librarian infographic from our friends at Capstone is always one of my favorite things to use to supoort, share, and celebrate our role as school librarians. In fact, they have updated this amazing infographic for all of us to use. 

It's perfect to print off to post in your library and throughout the school community; to include in your newsletter or yearly report; to share with school board members and administrators; to share with your teachers and families; to post on your social media; to add to your website and so much more.  

You will find The Power of the School Librarian infographic here, friends.

Celebrate #BeWhoYouAreDay On September 30 With Todd Parr, Lots Of Awesome Activities & This FUN Interactive Choice Board!

 

Friends, I have a very special day to share with all of you. It's called #BeWhoYouAreDay and will be celebrated on September 30. It is inspired by one of our favorite authors, Todd Parr.

Todd inspires and empowers children around the world with fun, positive messages. 

With his amazing book, Be Who You Are, Todd wants every kid to feel just how special they truly are, and that’s why we’re celebrating #BeWhoYouAreDay on September 30. 

As you get ready for Be Who You Are Day, there are so many awesome resources on Todd's site.

You will find this fun sheet to share how you are celebrating; 

drawing and....

...learning activities, 

coloring sheets to print off, 

stickers to make for the day and more! You will find everything here. 

My sister, Heather Fox, who is the teacher librarian at Amana Elementary in Amana, Iowa, made this adorable and fun...

...#BeWhoYouAreDay Choice Board to share with her learners at school and at home. 

And guess what? She wants to share it with all of us so we can use it with our students, teachers and school community too.  You will find it here, friends. 

If you want to make changes within the choice board, you can make a copy of it here. 

Thank you, Heather, for creating such a wonderful and special place for all of us to go as we celebrate #BeWhoYouAreDay with our community and others around the world. 

And thank you Todd and Little, Brown Books for Young Readers for bringing us such a special day.  We can't wait to celebrate our kids on @BeWhoYouAreDay too.
