At the end of our 2017-2018 School Year, we are taking some time to relax, be creative and build with some fun, interactive centers. The students had choice and thoroughly enjoyed themselves!

Check out the CODING page for pictures and student feedback!
Computer Science Education Week is December 4-10, 2017. During this week in library media, students will have an opportunity to try coding. Students will learn about computer science terms, such as sequences and loops, and students will be able to get hands-on with problem solving, coding, testing and debugging! Coding helps build life skills like perseverance, problem solving and collaboration, by engaging with technology in a safe learning environment. |
Coding is our superpower! |
Digital Citizenship & Online Safety
K5 through grade 3 will be spending some time learning about and discussing Digital Citizenship and how to stay safe online. A note went home earlier in October explaining about this important topic. Look for your child to bring home some Family Tip Sheets after each lesson. The Tip Sheet provides you with additional information about what we discuss in Library class and I hope that it sparks conversation within your family about what is appropriate for your child, as it relates to screen time and websites to visit.
We are using the Nearpod iPad app to deliver the content. As well, Nearpod allows each student to respond on his/her own iPad, so that I can see where everyone is at in their understanding of the topics covered.

Maker Movement @ PW LibStudents will have the opportunity to "make/create" in library media. Some challenges will be group challenges, while other options can be done with a partner, small group or individually. The Maker movement allows students the chance to tinker and create in a risk-free environment. It teaches students that it is ok to fail, as long as we learn from our mistakes and keep on trying. Perseverance is a critical life skill!

Keyboarding Without Tears®In computer lab, your child will be using Keyboarding Without Tears® to learn keyboarding skills. We are excited about our new keyboarding curriculum. It was created by Handwriting Without Tears® and develops pre-keyboarding skills (e.g., target practice, clicking skills, drag/drop skills) and touch typing. Keyboarding and handwriting are essential to student success with written work and are essential lifelong skills that develop through proper instruction. To learn more about the Keyboarding Without Tears curriculum please visit www.kwtears.com.

Digital Citizenship
Raising and educating young people in today's 24x7 digital media environment is an exciting, yet daunting challenge for parents and educators. It is essential for students to be safe online. We will be using Common Sense Media's Digital Citizenship curriculum to educate students on what it takes to be a good digital citizen.
Look for Family Tip Sheets to come home with your child as we discuss digital citizenship in Library Media in October and November.
