Primary Librarian
Welcome to my Primary Librarian page that contains lessons created for IBPYP students in Nursery-5th grade and age appropriate bulletin boards and displays.
Dia's story cloth lesson
Dia's Story Cloth is a non-fiction tale of the Hmong People's journey as refugees told through the use of a story cloth created by the author's aunt and uncle. The students create this project during the Year 4 unit on Children's Rights.
Cryptography Lesson
During a unit on tolerance and World War II, I taught Year 5 classes about the rarely discussed heroes of wartime encryption. After watching a documentary on Bletchley Park, the British code breaking center, students were introduced to basic types of encryption, including the Caesar Cipher disk. Students put together their own disks and used them to create and break codes.
Gingerbread girl lesson plan
I created this lesson during a science unit in Pre-K called "I Wonder" that focused on understanding different materials and how they react in an assortment of situations.
