🚫 As a specialist, DON’T try to teach new content in May!!

Schedules are constantly changing with end of the year assemblies, field trips, parties…

What to do instead?
⭐️ Review activities - library catalog, search and location, genre, trips down “memory lane”…
⭐️ Promote Summer Reading – If your school  library won’t be open, partner with your public library to keep your students reading and prevent the summer slide!
⭐️ Have fun – Make your activities fun and engaging so the good vibes carry them through to next school year!
