Scope of Services: Program meets NC Essential Standards (Grades K-5): ELA, Math Goals and Personal Social Responsibility Goals: To actively listen and participate in teacher led storytelling. Students will work together as teams collaborating and communicating to recreate the story by building a 3-dimensional “library” structure by utilizing mathematics (measurement/data and geometry) principles.
Program Description: Delightful STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Math) program based on the book Nia and the New Free Library. The picture book tells the story of one girl who reminds an entire town of the joy of books. When the town’s old library is destroyed by a tornado, the people are left wondering: What should they do with the space where the library used to be? The characters in Nia and the New Free Library all want different things: the builder wants there to be a new skyscraper, the grocer wants a new parking lot, but Nia just wants a new library . . . but how can one person build a whole library? After story time, students will work as teams to build their own mini library just like Nia out of PVC pipes and connectors and have a ribbon cutting ceremony.
