HOW ARE YOU?
I am going to write about our library project called
''MAGIC TRIP'', in a bus.
The project is destignated to the first cycle of
Primary Education in a bilingual school. Students made the project in
Art&Craft lessons with the help of the teacher.
Our library is in a corner of the class, it is a bus
stop where children can get, read and look up books.
The library is a shelves decorated with cardboards which the school offers to students, although some
materials are obtained by the Cooperative of the children at the begining of
the year.
To complete the classroom collection, the school
supplies thirty one books precedents by Usborne collection, students have to
bring at least one book to read.
Some of them are
1.
The wish fish.
2.
The
lion and the mouse.
The project is at the back of the classroom, we used
continuous paper to create a big bus where we can appreciate the appearance
of the students, because there is a photo and a pocket of each child in each
window to keep the sheets, they are called bus tickets, students have to
complete them when they finish to read a book.
When they complete ten bus tickers, the teacher will
give a personalized certificate.

Also, the driver’s place is change, one student is the
manager of the class each week.The task is the organization of the library and
give the books to their partners.
According with their personal opinions of each book,
children have to stick in their own window one sticker, red if they do not like
the book or green if they like it.
The road which joins the bus with its bus stop, it
contains the key words, each child has to write the most difficult word and its
meaning on the road.
Furthermore, they have to write one word per book
which they consider important or essential in their books without repeating the
words that are written by their mates in the road. It is called main words.
We consider that it is a good idea, due to students
must to pay attention and comprehend the reading.
Moreover, at the end of the year, we will divided the
children in groups and they will have to create a story based on the main words
of the books chosen, on this way, they can develop their imagination to create
characters and the story.
From my view, it is an excellent idea to develop the
reading, the creativity and the imagination in our students.
They try to read the most possible books to get a
personalized certificate, because they are very competitive with their
partners, therefore, we have to create habits to build up the motivation in the
children.
WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT OUR LIBRARY PROJECT?
Do you consider that is a good way to develop the
reading?
