Diversity Book Grant and Student Made Book Trailers

4/8/2016

0 Comments

 
Last year school year in October, Asst. Superintendent Melissa Goff requested, and the School Board approved spending $350K on books for our school libraries serving elementary grade level students.

Instruction, curriculum and assessment directed that the funds primarily support our Reading by the End of Third Grade initiative, and focus on books that reflect the diversity of our students.

Our district Library Services facilitated the project, including identifying possible titles, gathering collecting suggestions from our library staff as well as outside agencies including Multnomah County Library, Indian Education, NAYA and IRCO.

$350,000 was split between 60 school sites, with a formula based on K-3 student population, and considering the variables of language immersion and focus and priority factors.

Each school library team  spent hours and hours reviewing and selecting between 300 and 500 titles to purchase for their school. Orders were placed and shipments began to arrive at our school in November 2015. 

We took time with the 4th and 5th grade classes to analyze the pictures and text, create still motion tableaus based on a scene in the book and integrate our new iPads with the app Animoto. 

The 4th and 5th graders will be sharing these book trailers and stories with younger grades at Buckman. 

GREAT JOB STUDENTS!      <3 Ms. Rudnick

While I was reading the spring issue of Ms. Berk's Classroom newspaper, I came across a great interview to share! These books are mighty popular reads in the library!
**Read the full newspaper below!

Interview with Peyton

By Alma

Q: So Peyton, how do you like Warriors books?

A: I love them! That’s all I read!

Q: Why?

A: Because I love the characters, and I love the fact that they are cats!

Q: What is your favorite book out of the series? 

A: Probably, well, Into the Wild, book one.

Q: Well, how about you tell us a little bit about it, and why you like it?

A: Well in the book, Rusty, a Kittypet, meets the Warriors Cats of Thunderclan and becomes a warrior, earning the name Firepaw.

Q: How many books have you read?

A: Um, about seven, they are all pretty good!

Q: What level reading do you suggest the Warriors books?

A: Probably, maybe a  five, only because there are words that people might not understand, like two legs, or kittypet.  A two-leg means that the cat is like a human with two legs! And kitty pet means, a pet cat.

Q: Do you have any more information to tell us?

A: Yes. There is some death, and evil clans. There are cats dying and fighting, but other than that, it’s a great book.

Q: What grade(s) do you suggest this book to?

A: Third grade and up but not higher than seventh grade.

Q: One last thing to say before I end this interview?

A: Ummmmm, well, I just think you should check out this series, and that’s pretty much it!
