Welcome Back Teachers!
Wyman/Holden Library Services
Are you ready?
Welcome back to a new school year at Wyman and Holden schools. Thank you very much for the warm welcome from the Wyman community, and I am of course thrilled to see all my Holden family. I'm here to help you with your reading, research and technology project needs. Together I'm sure we'll have a great year!
Need a book?
Whether you're looking for a suggestion for a great class read aloud, or you have a title in mind and don't have a copy of the book, send me a note. I have the books in our library, Interlibrary loan between Warwick schools, and RILINK to pull from. Combined this gives us access to the books in a slew of school libraries in Rhode Island.
Instruction?
Just in time teaching tends to be remembered. Give me a heads up at least a week in advance and I can cover instruction in EasyBib, share databases and appropriate online topical resources, and even provide instruction for you and your students on GAFE products. Want to try Google Classroom, create a website, attempt your first video projects? Talk to me and we will collaborate to get you started.
Online Help?
My library page is a website created using Weebly. Just type MrsCastroslibrary into your browser and it should pop up. There are a ton of helpful resources located here and if there are any topics you don't see or can't find, please let me know. I will research educational sites and add them, whether they are for teachers, parents, or students.
Open Library Times
During Open Library feel free to send 5 students at a time for books. You can use the internal phones if you want to, to let me know they're coming. Book Open Library time with me to bring your entire class for instruction. Plan on staying and we'll work together on whatever project you'd like to try. Starting a research project? Schedule Open Library time to bring the entire class to check out books on their animal, state, career, weather feature....
