Welcome back, students! Happy New Year from Blundell’s LLC!
It is my hope that you will feel safe in our 'new' space as I spent last week creating more individual reading areas. I look forward to seeing you in our weekly library exchange blocks and sharing new and interesting books with you.
This term, I have the privilege to collaborate with four classroom teachers from Divisions 4, 5, 9, and 10. There are exciting units planned for each one of our collaboration blocks and I can't wait for you to use our NEW flip tables!
I am truly grateful to be your Teacher-Librarian at Blundell. Together, we have accomplished quite a lot since September 2021.
Here are some of our highlights:
- Digital Collaboration with Ellen! Divisions 1, 2, 6 and 7 had the opportunity to learn more about digital literacy and students learned different apps to enhance student learning and engagement.
- The Fraser River was a culminating activity for our students to experience and extend their digital fluency. Ellen and I projected snow falling, and placed QR Codes on wood chips throughout the river to add the dimension of sound. Students were asked to consider how sound might change their story. They could tell their story orally, with an iPad or with pencil and paper.
- 3D Printing club with Mr. Chu and Ms. Lam! Students in Division 1 and 2 were trained in how to be leaders in 3D printing and they learned how to create their own 3D name tags, cookie cutters and sleds.
