Task Cards for Library Orientation! Designed to enhance library skills, these engaging cards guide students through essential library functions.

36 Library Scavenger Hunt Task Cards

This pack includes 36 scavenger hunt cards and a printable answer sheet allowing students to record up to twelve answers.

This is a great way to introduce/remind students of the different parts of the library. You may also wish to do this as a challenge, having one student choose a card and find the book - record how long it took them, and make this the “time to beat” for following visits.

A simple but effective activity that gets students engaged in locating information within their library.

How to use:

* Print, laminate and cut each card.

* You have the option of having students write their answers on the printable (included), a mini whiteboard, having them physically bring the book to you OR if you have the technology, use tablets/smartphones and have students take pictures of their answers.

* A activity came be done as individuals, pairs or teams (no more than three is my recommendation)

Not sure what communication to send home on the first day of school? This is a letter that I have been sending home for over 20 years. It allows parents/guardians the opportunity to share with you anything that want about their child.

This file is editable. Choose whichever font you like, save as a PDF and send it home to parents. Personally I have taken to emailing the letter that last couple of years.

Here's to a great school year.

NOTE: I have no idea where I originally came across this idea, that is why this is a FREE resource.

This Kindness Activity brings a whole new perspective on the impact of our words and how they can get carried throughout the day. For this activity, you will be provided with the Google Slide digital download which includes key notes, instructions for you and your class, visuals, reflective points, and a "ready to use" download. You will also need: heavy books, balloons (or feathers, crumpled paper, or other 'light' items), post-it notes, and a bucket or other container to hold the post-it notes. This lesson is both interactive and impactful - leading to reflection and discussion for all. It is important to note that some students may use this activity as a way to identify harsh, heavy, or negative comments that may be occurring within the school building and the counselor, support staff, or teacher should be prepared to address this with the class, while acknowledgement that some comments brought up may be better addressed in a more private setting. This lesson has been a huge environment changer for my middle school students!

What better way to learn kindness than by practicing and experiencing it firsthand! Get ready to have a blast with your students - this is a fun one!! This download includes THREE interactive SEL activities to introduce kindness ideas, invite creative thinking, and provide “real-time” practice of the trait! This is such a fun way to get students talking, creating, and engaging... all while being kind to one another! Digital download gives detailed instructions on how to play each version of the activity as well as 15 "pair matches" to be used in the activity (or for other uses in your classroom!)
