I am stoked for this year's theme for School Library Month! I set up some of it last week and will set up the rest next week. This coming week I'm on Spring Break, and my school will be doing state standardized testing starting mid-late April, so I should have a solid two weeks to run activities with students/classes between break and testing, which I think will be a welcome break to everyone amidst test preparations. front windows - "libraries are for everyone." I've had a sign about Libraries are for Everyone by my door since the beginning of the year created by Rebecca McCorkindale. As I was thinking about what to do for this year's SLM theme of Everyone Belongs @Your School Library I recalled seeing those in other languages on Rebecca's Hafuboti site. Then the wheels turned further...what if I found out what all languages are represented by my students' families and tried to incorporate as many of those as I could? I immediately contacted our ENL teacher and guidance secretary to get an idea of what languages are used. Then I cross referenced that with Rebecca's list of languages for her Libraries are for Everyone posters and was able to match up almost all of them! My little orange sign says, "Over 25 languages are known across HIJH student households! That's amazing!" My purple sign says, "All of these & more! An awesome librarian elsewhere had most of the translations we needed for 'Libraries are for everyone.'" Thank you Rebecca for sharing the awesome! I'm so excited to have student and staff see this after we come back from break!
