0 Comments

 

Please take a look at an opportunity organized by YALSA, the Young Adult Library Services Association. You don’t have to a MLS librarian nor a YALSA member to apply. There is a huge focus on being college and career ready here at DPI. Check out the one-page handout and the webpage with videos for more state-specific information.

What is Career and College Ready? http://dpi.wi.gov/sites/default/files/imce/statesupt/pdf/college-career-readiness-definition-handout.pdf
Academic and Career Planning http://dpi.wi.gov/acp
 
Then read on for information about the Future Ready project and how to apply by the August 1, 2016 deadline.
 
Thanks for considering,

CSLP Call for Ideas for 2017

6/14/2016

0 Comments

 
​ Work has begun on the CSLP 2018 Children’s and Early Literacy Manuals, and we would love your input!  We’re looking for ideas for programs, books, activities, displays, decorations, storytimes, incentives, and more.  Our manuals incorporate diverse books, STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, and math), early literacy, hands-on activities, and programming for a wide range of interests, age groups, and budgets.  Whether you’ve got an idea for one activity or an entire program outline, we’d love to hear from you. 
 
Our 2018 theme is “Libraries Rock!”  Below, you’ll find subthemes for each manual, to help give you an idea of what we’ll be covering in each one.  Please submit your ideas by June 30, 2016 to Amanda Struckmeyer at amandacmoss@gmail.com; be sure to include your name, institution, city, and state, so that we can acknowledge you in the manual.  Please note whether any fingerplays, rhymes, or songs are original works.  Any format is welcome (book lists, bulleted lists, brief notes, or full paragraphs, for example).  If you prefer, a CSLP Program Submission Form can be found at http://www.cslpreads.org.
 
Early Literacy Manual (birth-age 5) Subthemes:

  • Music to Grow By: Learning Songs – colors, letters, numbers, names, daily activities
  • Let’s Dance!: Movement Songs – dancing, moving, parts of the body
  • Let’s Make Some Noise/Be-Bopping: Instruments – identifying instruments, playing instruments, making instruments
  • Hit a High Note/Just Sing: Singing – rhyming songs, story songs, chants, song in rounds, different formats (melody, rhythm, lyric, harmony)
  • Surround Sound: Listening – different genres, sounds in nature, sounds around you
 
Children’s Manual (ages 5-12) Subthemes:
  • Rock Around the World (music and dance around the world)
  • Science of Music
  • Instruments
  • Biographies/Musicians/Genres
  • Sounds in Nature
 
Many thanks for your input and ideas!
