What do you do when your little sister finally moves to the same state and lands a job as a school librarian? You share everything! One of the many things my sister and Jackie and I are sharing is a presentation! Here is a link to our presentation! We presented maker activities to go along with picture books and discussed our experiences with the students as we completed these activities. 

High levels of student engagement and happiness during these activities are what makes them worthwhile to me. I love to see learners become in absorbed in the moment, singing as they work and interested in what other students are doing. Behavior problems almost vanish.
