My name is Ms. Schmitt, and I am the librarian at Thomas Jefferson Elementary. The library has about 7,000 books. We also subscribe to four different magazines and the copies remain in the library for student use. All students in grades kindergarten through fifth have the opportunity to check out books during their scheduled class time each week.
I teach lessons that cover topics such as using electronic and print resources; using the online catalog to locate books; conducting a research project; and creating podcasts. Of course I also spend a large amount of class time reading books! Students are exposed to a variety of authors and genres so they can discover what types of books they enjoy reading.
I truly enjoy helping my students to love reading as much as I do!
