I am starting a new library program called Tonalea Online. You may be familiar with Storyline Online (go to http://www.storylineonline.net/), a website created by the SAG foundation in which actors read aloud classic children's stories. This is a website that I use on a regular basis for storytime with my little ones, and I got the idea to create our own "storyline" here at Tonalea. So... I am asking all 6th graders for any volunteers to be a part of this. I will have the 6th graders (they have the option to work alone or in pairs) sign up for me to videotape them reading a children's book of their choice from my library. I will then have this collection of "Tonalea Online" available for my younger students (K-2) to watch while they are in the library, as well as on the Tonalea Library website. If this is successful with the 6th graders, I will then open it up to the 5th graders after Winter Break!
Ask your child if they are participating in Tonalea Online, and practice reading the book they have chosen with them!
We can't wait to see your fabulous stories. Best of luck to all the 6th graders!
