Kansas
School Library Media Month, April 2003
At Beloit Elementary
School the library holds a paperback book swap. Since it is also National
Poetry Month, during National Library Week, I read a poem each morning
over the announcements that has to do with books and reading. We also
challenge students to use the letters in our NLW theme to make as many
words as possible, then award prizes to those students in each grade
that list the most words. This year our gifted teacher's Written and
Illustrated program invited illustrator and author Brad Sneed to visit
and give an evening program where parents are invited to read the student's
original books and awards were given.
