This year, as they develop reading, writing, thinking, and interpersonal skills, students at Sharon Elementary are focusing on what it means to be a hero. Kids across grade levels are engaged in reflection and reading about all kinds of heroes, from superheroes, to first responders, to parents – all through their library classes.
Lia Fisher-Janosz, school librarian at Sharon Elementary, is committed to helping students think big thoughts. This year, she is using the theme of heroes to help students more deeply understand reading and language arts concepts. She is also concentrating on teaching students to connect with each other and engage with books.
Through conversations in the library, students are learning how to ask truly intriguing questions about their heroes – an inspiring overall concept. Fisher-Janosz will carry the theme throughout the year.
