[aisle] library curriculum

[Nichole Folkman]

I create my own curriculum for my k-5 fixed schedule kids. I try to
supplement science and social studies since we have less time for those
(especially this year on a condensed schedule). This year I started
something I'm calling Postcard Field Trip that focuses on "travelling" with
our reading so that we study people, culture, history, government,
landmarks, ecosystems, agriculture, etc of different places that we can
travel through our books. The kids have really enjoyed it. I'm going to
work on a website this summer to share what books I've been using and the
cool links I've found to share with students.
