welcome to Akron Elementary School we believe that all students can be successful academically socially and emotionally and we are committed to Success Through the development of character leadership and literacy our library staff is amazing and works hard to make sure all students feel special when they enter through their doors screen the same back and I work in the Akron Elementary library this is Michael and I work in the Akron Elementary library what does the same basket on Christie's and Nana and I'm the media assistant in the library so the young Soldier program here at Akron Elementary has the goal of letting students read books together so they're getting that collaborative Community feel when they read their books and then they can not only talk and internalized with maybe but they can share that with friends and then I'm only can they do are the books that they have read together but they can recommend other books like oh my gosh I just read this fabulous Hoosier have you tried it yet this year with the connection with Frankenstein we tapped into different version of classic do you have the original version which is a 1300 Lexile level and we have a 5th grader here to Akron Elementary Focus all throughout the state of Indiana for Indiana Humanities so we thought it would be fun to make connections not only with other life cell across the state not only with school library but public libraries too and so it was really fun last night we had a presentation that Akron Carnegie sponsored and he really got into the science part of it and he was talking about plasma and protons and electrons find the kids got to see firsthand things that they had read in the Frankenstein book and then to connect that with literature we had three seasons from mr. razzies Class come in first thing this morning ready and willing to check out three adopted versions of Frankenstein with just made us extreme happy that we could see those connections be made with us again spaces was application of knowledge and giving students an opportunity to do Hands-On knowledge in the library and connected with so we have stations that we hope tap into different needs and interests of individuals do we have science stations with a microscope and we had students just this morning viewing the leg of a bee and it was just awesome they get to try different magnifications and decide which one works the best so we love matchbooks with individual students when they come into the library where they say they love to read or whether they are they haven't found that love for reading yet and so ensues come in and maybe they're saying I loved a book and how can I find another one like that that gives us a starting point if they like mac Mark Mike Lupica for sports week and then show them Carl deuker or we can show them signed signed books for sports and then sometimes didn't come in and they say they don't like to read it all and so we can ask them what's something else that you love that doesn't have any to do with reading not realizing that everything has something to do with reading. Maybe they say they love basketball or they're on the football team or maybe they just got a pet guinea pig and so we can steer them to the nonfiction section about how to care for your pet guinea pig books on fairy so the little girl has dressed up as a fairy for Halloween because they hey how about this great new series about fairies have you read this Tinkerbell book yet akron's library is a place where students imaginations can soar can open a book and be I'm a detective a princess and astronaut and much more they can build skyscrapers race Marvel's Play Store and anything else their imaginations take them
