Farmersville Elementary School Link

My name is Mrs. Mueller, and I am the Farmersville Elementary School Librarian.  Our school has nearly 500 students in grades K-5, and each student comes to me for a weekly library class.  We read lots of fiction and non-fiction books, play games, and do fun extension activities that go along with what we are reading and learning.  Students also get to borrow 1-2 books every time they come to library class. 

The Farmersville library has a Primary Section for grades K-2, an Intermediate Section for grades 3-5, and a Professional Collection for the staff.  We also have a silent reading area with comfy bean bag chairs and fun pillows for students to enjoy after they have selected their books.  Additionally, we have a brand new listening center with books on tape and CD, as well as 8 Chrome Books.  We are excited to use more technology in the library this year!  We will be using the Chrome Books to conduct author studies and other research projects.  One of the special things I do with my students is the Book Bucks program.  Students who follow all of my rules get to put their Book Buck in my star student box at the end of class.  Every Friday, I select a winner from each grade level.  Winners get to choose a prize and sit in a fuzzy lounge chair the next time they come to library class.  Farmersville students love coming to the library, and I love teaching them!
