Elementary Librarian Lesson Plans

by Terry Coleman

Feb 3, 2015

Hello, Glad to have found this board! Has anyone had experience with the curriculum available through Elementary Librarian? I am a grad student helping to pioneer a library program in a school and I have public library experience but little school experience. Being a public school their curriculum is common-core oriented, and I feel that our library lessons should follow that in order to be most relevant. I like how Elem. Librarian recognizes Common Core in her lesson plans and was just wondering if anyone had used her library lessons and found them helpful. Thanks! -Terry

Terry Hi Susie, Thanks for replying! I'm in Washington DC. You're right that it's expensive. I was looking at Elem.

April I managed to land a job and had to move into my library and plan within a week. I was desperate for quick resources, so I purchased the plans. I liked the curriculum map to plot out my units, but I didn't end up using many of her resources and pretty much wasted my money. Her center activities didn't fit well with my schedule or the technology I ha...See MoreI managed to land a job and had to move into my library and plan within a week. I was desperate for quick resources, so I purchased the plans. I liked the curriculum map to plot out my units, but I didn't end up using many of her resources and pretty much wasted my money. Her center activities didn't fit well with my schedule or the technology I have available. I've already started planning for next year using TONS of resources doing basic Google searches for topics like "elementary school curriculum guides" and "elementary school scope and sequence." Add your state to that, and you've got it made. It's much easier...and cost-effective! -April

PS - I'm not dissing Elem. Librarian's program at all. I just didn't think it was what I thought it would be for my situation.
