All remote learning Library resources can be found there. Bored at Home? Looking for something new to try? Check out what Mrs. Sheehan & Mrs. Fox found for you!  The SAG-AFTRA Foundation’s award-winning children’s literacy website, Storyline Online, streams videos featuring celebrated actors reading children’s books alongside creatively produced illustrations. Readers include Viola Davis, Chris Pine, Lily Tomlin, Kevin Costner, Annette Bening, James Earl Jones, Betty White and dozens more. Check out Mrs. Sheehan's favorite: The Hula-Hoopin' Queen!  Storytime with Ryan & Craig is a free, short-form reading show for children, parents & educators. Every week, Ryan and Craig read aloud a new children’s book. This show is different from other read aloud videos for several reasons: First, it’s hosted by not one, but two men, which is fairly uncommon in the literacy and early education world. This offers a new dynamic to inspire and excite both boys and girls about reading! Check out one of Mrs Sheehan's favorites: Be Quiet! by Ryan T Higgins, it's hysterical! Then try The Legend of Rock Paper Scissors by Drew Daywalt. Also very funny!!   Love TV or videos? This is the place for you! KidLit TV shows include book trailers, read alouds, drawing tutorials, music, and craft activities.   Author and illustrator of the Comics Squad and Lunch Lady series of graphic novels will be providing LIVE drawing and illustrating workshops for students EVERY DAY! New episodes will be posted each day at 2 p.m. ET and then remain online to be streamed afterwards. Check back each day!   Do you love Kate Messner? She's the author of the Ranger in Time series, All the Answers, The Seventh Wish, and more. She has brought together dozens of her author and illustrator friends in one place. Her description of the resources: "....a growing collection of resources that include everything from first-chapter and picture book read-alouds (shared with permission from publishers!) to drawing and writing mini-lessons. Be sure to check back often, as new resources will be added every day.  Mo Willems invites YOU into his studio every day for his LUNCH DOODLE.
