Oregon adopts the Next Generation Science Standards as the new Oregon Science Standards! In April 2013, the final Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), a new set of voluntary, rigorous, and internationally benchmarked standards for K-12 science education, were released. Oregon was one of 26 lead states that worked with Achieve and the standards writers to develop the NGSS. On Thursday, March 6, 2014, the Oregon State Board of Education (SBE) voted unanimously to adopt the NGSS as the new Oregon Science Standards. The adoption includes the grade level middle school science standards sequence unanimously recommended by the Oregon Science Content and Assessment Panel that was developed under the leadership of the California Science Experts Panel. The Oregon SBE Chair and Members are incredible supporters of science education (and the NGSS). It was a joy to see the unanimous support for these standards and for providing a high quality science education for all Oregon students. You can access the Oregon NGSS review report and materials provided to the SBE as well as the archived video of the meeting on the SBE website. Oregon was privileged to work with an incredible group of dedicated, talented, and passionate educators and community members serving on the Oregon Science Content and Assessment Panel, who did the hard work and provided the alignment crosswalks, proposed timelines, and critical recommendations to the Oregon Department of Education (ODE) and SBE. You can view the list of panel members and the materials for each of their meetings on the webpage created for the Oregon NGSS review process. The alignment crosswalks and transition/implementation timelines provided to the SBE are going through a final editing review and will be posted on the ODE science webpage soon. It is important to remember that the new Oregon Science Standards (NGSS) will be phased in so that districts can implement changes in local curriculum, provide appropriate professional development for teachers and administrators, and provide students with opportunities to learn the content, practices, and cross-cutting concepts prior to assessment. Oregon students will continue to be assessed on the Oregon 2009 Science Content Standards via OAKS Science until a new science assessment that aligns with the newly adopted standards is developed and becomes operational in 2018-2019. Background information on the development of the NGSS as well as links to resources are available on the ODE NGSS web page.

I just received the following email about ALA?s Association of Library Services to Children?s latest blog posting. While the blog post and the resources it links to are specifically about running a family book club to celebrate D?a de los ni?os?/libros, the resources are great for running any type of family book club! The booklet includes best practices, a planning checklist, tips for conducting a bilingual book club, a short list of recommended books, generic questions by grade range that work for any book, sample agenda, sample lesson plan, and a page that can be photocopied and sent home with parents about reading at home. You can access the book club booklet it online for free at: http://dia.ala.org/sites/default/files/resources/Dia13_Toolkit_print_0%20%281%29_0.pdf Katie Anderson, Library Development Services * Youth Services Consultant * Oregon Center for the Book Coordinator * Oregon State Library, 250 Winter St. NE, Salem, OR 97301 katie.anderson at state.or.us, 503-378-2528 D?a Family Book Clubs Posted: 08 Mar 2014 09:01 PM PST Spring is thankfully just around the corner, which means that El d?a de los ni?os/ El d?a de los libros (Children?s Day/ Book Day), which occurs annually on April 30th, is quickly approaching! This nationally recognized initiative, commonly referred to as D?a, focuses on the importance of literacy for all children from all cultural backgrounds. One common goal of D?a programming is, ?to recognize and respect culture, heritage and language as powerful tools for strengthening families and communities?. A great way to align programming with this goal as April nears it is by starting a D?a Family Book Club in your community. The D?a Family Book Club is a reading program that brings together children and families through shared reading of contemporary, culturally diverse children?s literature. The program not only provides wonderful opportunity for families to share stories and learn together, it helps teach teamwork, respect of other cultures and fosters important literacy skills. Of course, I hope a love of reading is also encouraged and blossoms from book club participation. The best part of the D?a Family Book Club is that there is an amazing toolkit created by fellow library professionals for you to download and use, all for free! You can download this 12 page booklet full of useful tips, reproducible activities, worksheets and best practices here. Still not sure if you have the time or resources to start a D?a Book Club? The planning is already done for you! With various complete lesson plans available on the D?a website, and more on their way, it couldn?t be any easier to start your very own club. The curriculum is conveniently divided into two age groups for easier planning. Examples of book choices include My Mother?s Sari by Sandhya Rao for the 4-8 age group and Crossing Bok Chitto by Tim Tingle for the 8-12 age group. In addition, you will find a wealth of practical information provided in the toolkit such as activities that families can do at home. Finally, the D?a Family Book Club creates ample opportunity for teacher involvement, school-public library partnerships and bi-lingual learning. Surely starting a D?a Book Club would be to provide ?powerful tools for strengthening families and communities? at your library. Don?t forget to register your D?a program in the 2014 National D?a Program Registry. We want to hear about the stellar ideas you have implemented at your library. Your registration will also contribute to a national database that highlights the broad range of D?a programming across the country. An extra perk to registering early is that you will receive free D?a bookmarks and stickers, perfect goodies to hand out at your first D?a Family Book Club meeting. ____________________________________________________________ Nicole Lee Martin is a Children?s Librarian at the Grafton-Midview Public Library in Grafton, Oh and is writing this post for the Public Awareness Committee.

Creative Reader's Advisory Posted on March 7, 2014 by Elisabeth Gattullo Marrocolla There are kids who walk into the Children's Library, walk right up to the desk, and tell you exactly what they're looking for. There are kids with definite opinions and kids whose taste is harder to suss out. All these kids are a part of the joy of Reader's Advisory - the easy ones make you feel like you're aces at your job, while the difficult ones make you feel like a superhero when you find the perfect book for them to read. But there is another group of kids that we noticed we were not reaching - the ones who won't approach the librarian for suggestions, even when coaxed. At the same time, we noted our new fiction displays were not emptying out as quickly as they once had. In an effort to reach those children who don't like to come to the librarian for RA and to help kids realize that there were worthy options among the new fiction, we started adding a simple and effective bit of hands-off RA to our displays. [ab5] Sneaky RA! photo provided by the author What we did was simple and not groundbreaking, but it has amped up our new fiction turnaround to the point where are there are days that we run out of new books in the library! I used the die-cut machine to punch out roughly 1 zillion (a real number) bright yellow medallions, on which we wrote "For Kids Who Love...." and then inserted the title of a similar book that kids will know. The thing that makes this so effective is we exclusively link the new books to massively popular titles and authors. This lets both kids and parents who might not be familiar with popular but mid-list titles recognize books they may want to read. Does the book have family issues or emotional plot beats? For kids who love Wonder. Are there animals who talk/have feelings? For kids who love The One and Only Ivan. Is there any magic? For kids who love Harry Potter. [What's your favorite book's soulmate? photo provided by the author] What's your favorite book's soulmate? photo provided by the author We started applying this to our themed fiction displays as well. For example, in February, we had a Book Soulmates display. We invited kids to discover the soulmate to their favorite book and then linked massively popular titles to older books that need a new audience. This allowed me to FINALLY convince a child to check out Good Night, Mr. Tom, a book with some of the worst cover art I have ever seen, but which I love so much I wrote about it here. I advertised its soulmate as Number the Stars, since they're both about children's experiences during WWII. And Mr. Tom hasn't been checked in since! [The author's favorite tiara and everyone's favorite song. photo provided by the author] The author's favorite tiara and everyone's favorite song. photo provided by the author We plan to keep this up for as long as it's effective. Patron feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. Both parents and kids have remarked that they love the new displays, and our only questions have been about whether or not it's ok to disturb the display and/or take a book with a medallion on it. Now I just need to figure out how to tie together princesses, RA, and like titles for this display, and I'll be golden! -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Chicago, IL: ALA Editions. 978-0-8389-1202-7 Learning that takes place "after hours" in a club setting is often an under supported component of children's education. After-school clubs built around books encourage independent, recreational reading, which in turn has a positive impact on the rest of a child's day. In this book, Shaia offers a year's worth of ready-to-implement program ideas for librarians and educators. Her month-by-month calendar of themed clubs is conveniently divided by grade level (K-2, grades 3-4, grades 5-6) to allow club leaders and organizers to closely align activities and book selections to the ages of the club's participants. This handy book * Offers programming on such themes as science, math, animals, mysteries, art, fairy tales, and more, all of which can be adapted for either a half-hour or forty-five-minute time slot * Details age-specific bibliographies and suggestions for read-alouds, music, and craft or game activities, with different ideas for each week in a month * Presents information on publicizing the activity, community outreach, display ideas, set-up, supplies, management, and evaluation With its inviting approach to book-based programming, Shaia's start-to-finish guide helps promote reading as a fun, engaging activity for kids.

This new revised edition is a step-by-step guide to serving children and youth with disabilities as well as the family members, caregivers, and other people involved in their lives. The authors show how staff can enable full use of the library's resources by integrating the methods of educators, medical and psychological therapists, social workers, librarians, parents, and other caregivers. Widening the scope to address the needs of teens as well as preschool and school-age children, this edition also discusses the needs of Spanish-speaking children with disabilities and their families, looking at cultural competency as well as Spanish-language resources. Enhanced with checklists, stories based on real experiences, descriptions of model programs and resources, and an overview of appropriate internet sites and services, this how-to gives thorough consideration to * Partnering and collaborating with parents and other professionals * Developing special collections and resources * Assessing competencies and skills * Principles underlying family-centered services and resource-based practices * The interrelationship of early intervention, special education, and library service (book description) Other resources to help with including families of children with special needs.

ISBN 978-1-55570-990-7 Spaces that have been designed to allow users to create, build, and learn new projects and technologies, makerspaces employ a variety of tools such as 3-D printers, AutoCAD design software, and even open-source hardware like Arduino Kits. Developing a community around shared use of space and equipment, a tenet of the makerspace movement, fits squarely into libraries mission. Bagley examines nine makerspaces in public, academic, and school libraries, describing their design and technical decisions in depth and showing how each is doing something unique and different, under a wide range of budgets and project offerings. Enabling readers to quickly gather information about these trailblazing projects, Bagley's guide * Defines the makerspace, and describes why it fits perfectly into the librarys role as community center; * Answers common questions about implementing a makerspace project, detailing how libraries are addressing issues such as registration, usage policy, noise, software programs in digital workspaces, adapting spaces, funding, and promotion; * Illustrates approaches libraries are taking to staffing makerspaces, from Anchorage Public Library's Maker in Residence and Mesa Public Library's THINKspot coordinator, to the library school students involved with University of Michigan and University of Illinois makerspace projects; * Covers the demographics of makerspace users, from children and teens to hobbyists and job seekers, offering guidance for targeting, marketing, and programming. A sourcebook of ideas that readers can apply at their own institutions, this resource also demonstrates how makerspaces can be gathering places for people to learn how to create and build together as a community.

We had a partnership with a therapy dog group who brought the dogs for the program as well as to hospitals for therapy. What is nice about partnering with an established group like this is that they are insured and the dogs are trained to be gentle. I'd be mindful of these issues when you are developing your program. Paws to Read met once a month on a Monday evening, and we set up appointments in advance. The program started out with great success and then dwindled to a couple families showing up consistently. Eventually we had to scale back the number of dogs and then cancel the program. It was a lot to ask of the dog owners when we were having no-shows. I think something like this would work really well in the summertime and may go great year-round as well. You never know until you try, and I'd encourage you to do it. Best of luck in this and in your new job! I'm sure we'll be meeting you soon!

The teams are also very active in our local early elementary grades schools and during finals week at the local university. During the school year we have the teams visit twice a month: the 2nd Thursday and the 4th Saturday. We also host special events with the dogs in which we celebrate R.E.A.D. This year we had the R.E.A.D. teams visit on Valentines Day. The R.E.A.D. teams purchased books through a local book store so every child who read to a dog went home with a new paperback book. During the summer we have our local R.E.A.D. teams visit our library every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday afternoon during the month of August. Our formal summer reading program is wrapping up, the fair has happened and kids are looking for fun activities. This has been highly successful for the last three summers. I also have a little booklet which the kids collect stickers and the names of the dogs they read to throughout the summer. This year we hope to have enough give away books to send home a book with each child at the end of August who has participated in the SR R.E.A.D. at least four times. Details being worked out. We once did appointments but I found that that was really time consuming for me. Now it is a walk in process. Be sure you have a release form for the children to read to a dog which has been signed by an adult. This is your authorization form in case there is ever an incident. The R.E.A.D. program is insured and the library carries a rider which has been covered by our city attorney. Also get a photo release signed so you can use pictures of local kids reading to dogs on your website and any publicity you might be running. The R.E.A.D. program is a really good draw to the library. We try to get an article in our local paper at least once a year and we post it in the community calendar which runs in the local newspaper as well as on the public side of Evanced. Let us know if you have any questions.

Message-ID: <1344F043397FAE4B96280E464E6C43DD8865EDA6@mail> Hi all, A month or so ago I emailed KidsLib for ideas for a Band storytime. I really appreciated all the feedback, and based on those ideas and talking with our Flutist (Marilyn Godfrey), we came up with a successful program. It was easy, but the kids loved it and most of them had never seen a flute! This summer I'm hoping to do a Music Lab outdoors for elementary age kids. I hear our middle school band teachers are looking for different ways to recruit kids, so I'm planning to talk to them about involvement. We did not have any funds for the program, so although I would love to have the Oregon Symphony at our library someday, that wasn't the option I went with. I've attached the plan Marilyn and I used, and I included the responses below that I received on KidsLib (with apologies if I missed any of them in my email jumble). Thank you to Sara Simpkins, Sherri Lemhouse, Rick Samuelson (hmmm, I'm sure I forgot someone- sorry about that!). ......................................................... A number of libraries in Washington County have had Symphony Storytimes with members from the Oregon Symphony. One instrument comes at a time. The player introduces the instrument and a library storytime presenter reads some thematically appropriate books. Tigard just wrapped one up. ........................................................ Band instruments are LOUD, especially in a small space. They can actually scare kids. Do you want the musicians who come to play a piece together, or just demonstrate their instruments? Do you want the kids to be able to touch their instruments? The answers to these questions makes a difference to the musicians. Brass instrument players are usually fine with kids touching their instruments. Woodwinds and strings, not so much. Do you have rhythm instruments the kids can handle and play? I haven't done an actual story time with musicians, but I've done a few programs for older kids in our separate meeting room with them. If I were doing a story time, I'd probably have the musicians with their instruments out and ready to go before story time starts, so kids and parents could look at them and talk to the musicians. Then we'd do story time as usual, with several books, and songs that use shakers (and maybe some of my other rhythm instruments for the older group). I know a wonderful trumpet player who would be great adding sound effects to the Mo Willems book, Listen to my Trumpet. After that I'd have the musicians demonstrate their instruments and maybe play a simple piece of music. For the 3 to 6 age group, we'd probably make some sort of shaker, either from folded paper plates or toilet paper tubes, for them to take home.

From digital cameras to identity theft, this site is a treasure trove of useful and searchable information. NASA Kids Club http://www.nasa.gov/audience/forkids/kidsclub/flash/ Learn space sciences at this site from NASAs Marshall Space Flight Center.
