I'm always impressed with Mr. Schu's library decorations and appreciate him sharing pictures so I thought it would be worth sharing what I have on display in my library this year.
On my board in the hallway I have the beautiful "50 States of Middle Grade Lit" created by Monique and several book related eCards from Pinterest.
In the library I have a poster size print out of Jennifer LaGarde's Declaration of Students' Rights to School Libraries and My Reading Life poster. This poster is a great way to showcase all the types of reading I do and start conversations with my students.
On the bulletin boards in my library I have three other posters created by Monique: Newberry Buzz, ALA Youth Media Awards and our state Junior Book Award Nominees.
Monique, Kristen and I are working on our middle grade literature trend posters. This is our post from last year. We'll share when the new ones are ready.
I have Loo reviews of our Junior Book Award nominees ready to hang in the bathrooms.
And I have SC JBA fliers in the mousepads. You can find picture mousepads on Amazon and put whatever you want in them.
I'm really excited about my new "How many books have you read?" board inspired by Jillian Heise. I've read 7 novels in the two weeks we've been back and I've already had lots of conversations with students about the board.
I'm working on getting a #bookshelfie from each of my library helpers and I'm going to put them on display soon. Here's mine.
I've had first visits with my 7th and 8th graders. They know the library policies so we go straight to book talks and book trailers. Here is the playlist of trailers I put together. I varied which trailers we watched each class so that the teachers and I wouldn't get bored. The favorites were 52 Reasons to Hate My Father and The Fifth Wave.
What new bulletin boards and posters do you have on display?
Tamara,
ReplyDeleteMy post on the getting the library all "gussied up" (I wish I had used that phrase!) will be on my blog tomorrow. (www.readingandbreathing.blogspot.com)
I really like the idea of posting everything I read during the year, just not sure where I'd put it. I have very little wall space in the library. Hope you're having a great beginning to school -- our first day is tomorrow. Are you coming to NCSLMA this year? It was great meeting you last year.
Are you coming to NCSLMA this year?
These posters are great! What program do you use to create them?
