Happy Wednesday everyone!

  Today’s featured site is “Storyline Online”!  It is a free site where kids can watch videos of authors reading books!  Many are read by favorite actors.  You simply choose a book to play, using YouTube or other video players available, to play it.

I chose A Bad Case of Stripes by David Shannon.  It was narrated by actor Sean Astin, from the Lord of the Rings movies!  I enjoyed it very much!

I hope you are staying healthy and happy, enjoy!

I hope all of you are carving out a little time to read something for fun!

  Here is a fun site to explore.

storynory.com

It is geared towards K through 5th grade.  It is free and contains more than 600 audio stories.  Literary styles of writing include; fairy tales, myths, educational stories, poems, world stories, and classic authors.  Students can read AS they read along with the storytellers!  The stories can also be heard, via podcast.  The content is free, but full disclosure, there are ads.  The site comes from the UK, so the accents are lots of fun to listen to!  I brief intro is given before the classic stories, explaining the timeline in history, it was written.

I pray daily for everyone’s health and I miss you all!  My 11 month old puppy Jax says hello!

I hope all of you are staying safe and healthy.  As many of you have already noticed, I allowed students who wanted to, to check out up to four books each.  I wanted them to have reading material at home.  Some students may have limited home libraries, or have read everything already!!!! 

The library has been scrubbed and disinfected, it will be ready and waiting for your students to return.
