It happens once a month in the evening and is a book club for parents and their children in grades 4-7. The families come and play floor hockey in the gym, have a healthy snack in the library and then we…"
Trina Jones replied to Connie Anderson's discussion Elementary Book Club ideas"Last year was my first year in an elementary school with a pop of 850. We did book club on Fridays with each grade level. I didn't have a clue plus we didn't have books for them to read altogether. I ended up trying to…"

Becky Maher replied to Connie Anderson's discussion Elementary Book Club ideas"I have had several book club meetings during lunch time with 2nd grades.

Connie Anderson replied to Connie Anderson's discussion Elementary Book Club ideas"Definitely Beth, I am game to share ideas. I like some of the things added to this post already and am pretty sure I'll add more reading time to the club and also the adopt a shelf idea. I can see some of the kids loving to do that especially…"
Connie Anderson replied to Connie Anderson's discussion Elementary Book Club ideas"thanks so much. I love this idea and think I will try it. I also like the idea of kids just reading in book club.

cara delia replied to Connie Anderson's discussion Elementary Book Club ideas"This is a WONDERFUL Idea! Thanks so much for sharing, I think I'm only going to allow the 5th graders this honor of adopting a shelf. There are about 600 elementary school students, 4 5th grade classes. I think this would be a great…"
Angela Rosheim replied to Connie Anderson's discussion Elementary Book Club ideas"This is how it works...
The kids can each adopt 1 shelf...which is actually a bank of 3 or 4 shelves high. I have a laminated sign that I put on the shelf that says, "______________proudly cares for this shelf". The kids fill in their name…"
cara delia replied to Connie Anderson's discussion Elementary Book Club ideas"love the idea that the children "adopt a bookshelf" def. gonna steal this one. I know that the kids really enjoy spending special time in the library helping out, but adopting a shelf is a great way to allow them ownership, and I think it…"
Angela Rosheim replied to Connie Anderson's discussion Elementary Book Club ideas"I run a morning bookclub called Page Turners for any 3rd, 4th, and 5th grader in my elementary school (2nd graders may join us in January). I have found that kids just simply want time to read. No reports, comprehension questions, or projects...they…"
Paula Daubert replied to Connie Anderson's discussion Elementary Book Club ideas"I have a book "club" but it is during the school day and not voluntary (students are hand picked by the AP). I say "club" because it is cover time for classroom teachers' common planning time. This past year I had 5th…"
Beth Kiger replied to Connie Anderson's discussion Elementary Book Club ideas"Connie, lets share ideas. I need ideas that will have the students fighting to get in.

Hope that helps"
Connie Anderson replied to Ms. Voss's discussion Big6?"I use it starting in 3rd grade and it has been really effective thus far. The kids in 4th and 5th are the ones who can really catch on and over time they are starting to actually like it. There is the Super 3 for younger grades. That has worked well…"

In an ongoing effort to recruit a new generation of school library leaders, Mansfield University recently received a fifth Institute of Library and Museum Services (IMLS) grant to fund scholarships for its totally online School Library & Information Technologies Master of Education degree program with school library certification. If you know of an educator or non-certified librarian seeking school library certification, please pass along the news that we are still accepting applications for the spring 2012 semester.
The Master of Education program, ideally suited for working educators
with no time to drive to a university, offers a convenient and effective path to school library certification.
