Post Election Resources and Ideas
Our country continues to make history in the democratic process of our elections. The information from Common Sense Media shares important information regarding What Should We Tell our Kids? Be Tomorrows Leaders, Today. In this article there are tips at age appropriate levels to read books about brave leaders, use age appropriate news media sources, teaching students to be upstanders, use accountable talk to express opinions or participate in conversations, and emphasize the importance of digital citizenship. Teaching Tolerance continues to be an excellent resource to help address What to Say to Kids on November 10 and the Days After. The following website Teacher Vision: 2016 Presidential Election Resources & Teaching Tips (Grades K-12) helps to provide resources to help students better understand the election process in our country.
International Games Day
As written in International Games Day, this day originated in 2007 where libraries across the country attempted to set a world record for the number of people playing the same game at the same time at libraries around the world. In 2012, it became International Games Day to raise awareness of games and gaming in libraries. Our awareness of gaming escalated this summer with PokemonGo, but remember International Games Day does not just focus on video games, but also board/tabletop games. Contact your local library to find out how they are celebrating International Games Day.
