Looking Beyond Our Homes

As our self-isolation continues, I find I'm being very creative with my time. And the resources to help me do that are so plentiful that I cannot keep them to myself. So I have added a section to this website called "2020 Remote Learning Resources." as I began collecting links that came my way, I was thinking of the standard things a school librarian needs in normal times - but as COVID19 keeps us constrained, I found my librarian head realizing that what is needed is not normal. Actually, I began these compilations a couple of weeks ago - but today added a host of new materials and subpages.
  • "For Students and Families" offers links first around Core subjects, Books, Authors and Writing. Plus two sub-pages, one just for links to Museum resources and the other to Enrichment Ideas sorted by Art, Music & Sound, Science, Outdoors & Movement, and a few general ideas.
  • "For Everyone" includes an article on Self-Care as well as reliable COVID19 information links.
  • "For Parents Teacher and Librarians" offers links around Social Emotional Learning, Technology, and Copyright as well as Equity of Access and (my favorite) Advocacy.
Resources keep appearing in my email and social media and I literally don't know how NOT to share them. so I hope you find a new distraction for you or your kids, whether your students or your family. If there is anything I'm learning in this, it is to stop and wander in these new amazing resources. Please give yourself time to be distracted and creative.
