TECH TIP: A Page For Your Class on the Library Website
I worked this week with Dallas Speranzo's classes on a project they will be working on throughout the year related to a local farm. First step in their research process was to identify a farm. I created a webpage of resources for them through the library website. This is something I can do for your classes as well, curate resources specific to the project requirements and assist you in teaching the lesson. The students were fully engaged in finding their farm to research!
BOOK TIP: The Lager Queen of Minnesota by J. Ryan Stradal
This was another one of my favorite reads of the summer. Sisters Edith and Helen are divided after their father leaves the family farm solely to Helen. Helen goes on to make money by brewing beer, a field dominated by men. While Edith struggles financially to make ends meet, she does make award winning pies and it is through her hard work that she is able to provide for her family. This novel is a love letter to Minnesota values, family connections, and finding success in a world that constantly puts you down. I'd also recommend the author's other book Kitchens of the Great Midwest.
