Five Questions for Elementary Teacher Neme Alperstein | Teaching with the Library of Congress



Five Questions for Elementary Teacher Neme Alperstein | Teaching with the Library of Congress: "I teach fifth grade gifted and talented students in a New York City public school, P.S. 174 William Sidney Mount. We’re in the borough of Queens, in an area considered to be one of the most diverse in the nation.  Our library circulation is one of the largest in the country (we like to think the largest, but I haven’t seen that statistic). Our school library has just been redone and our collection is digitally available. We also can order online books that are delivered to us through the NY Public Library at no cost.  Sets of books are available and we use this to bolster our work with the Library’s resources."

We are also participating in the Web Archive-it project and so the students reflect on why preserving primary sources is so crucial.  My best answer in the class was, “We don’t know why we will use them yet and may find new questions to ask. We can only do that if we preserve primary sources so we can use them in the future.”    Students constructing a story as “primary source detectives”  has appealed to colleagues because of what it can bring to the classroom.

16 Novembro 2013 - International Games Day 2013 | I Love Libraries

International Games Day 2013 | I Love Libraries: "What is International Games Day @ your library?

Basically, it's just a date when a whole bunch of libraries all over the world agree to play games in a spirit of co-operation. The games can be anything the library and community in question likes: previously, libraries have hosted "learn to play chess" days, board games, card games, trivia games, tabletop roleplaying games, online videogame tournaments that span North America, and social games that travel the entire world over the course of the day."
