For K and 1st, maybe simple flannelboard stories that they can retell fairy tales, etc. Any subject area that suppliments classroom curriculum....etc. Good luck :)

10 ipads and a cart were donated to our K- 6 library. We have never used ipads here in the school before and would be very interested n hearing what media specialits/librarians are doing with them. We are particularly interested in any free ebook resources that you may have. Thanks in advance.
RinYou can download the Kindle app onto your Ipad and use any of the books they have. The Florida Center for Instructional Technology has a site (lit2go) that has lots of free literature. [link removed]
There are many other resources available from FCIT, check them out.
can find suggestions for read alouds, but want reasons for the recommendation: e.g. good use of figurative language, good use of regional dialects, complex plot,many specialized words requiring background knowledge or teacher explanation.
I'm taking the test on Sat. I've studied the Ed Media Specialist XAM book. I feel like I need to expose myself to more. Is there any advise, hints, secrets to help me get the upper edge?
Just got my fall schedule. My administrations has decided to double up and have me teach to classes (k thru 5th) at the same time. So each group will have approximately 30 to 45 kids . I need ideas on how to manage that number of kids and teach a lesson for the grade level. I have about 20 working computers. There will not be another adult present.
Are the groups multi-age? I think I would divide the group into smaller groups/teams of 5 or 6 students required to be in set areas. I would also rotate stations (computer activity, book related activity, browse/check-out, author study, free reading space, and dewey skills station)
I'd be begging for parent/grandparent volunteers!
Good Luck and let us know how things go.

In my last library where I was Media Specialist, the chapter books were inter-shelved with the regular fiction/non-fiction.
I plan to do both in the next library I hope to have (think good thoughts--I'm job hunting!)
Hope this helps.
