Programs

Programming ideas and materials

 * Read Across America**
 * Invite guest speakers
 * Have teachers all switch classes and be "guest readers" - all at the same time
 * Have a contest where kids guess quotes out of different books or trivia - either have a class prize (balloon) daily or have individual children give answers and select the first correct answer given
 * 50th anniversary of __Green Eggs and Ham__ this year!

**NCCBA** Librarian kicks off the program, introducing the books to classes and reading one or two. All children get a bookmark with the titles listed. Then the books are kept for teacher checkout only - classroom teachers take them out and read them to their classes, keep them for a day only. Classes come in to vote, putting a bean in a cup in front of the book. Takes some staff development, but teachers love it - it gives them great read alouds for their classes.
