Today we have a guest post from WLA member Nell Fleming, Librarian at Wisconsin School for the Deaf Library in Delavan!

It was fun, and we learned new vocabulary by pulling
"stuff" out from under our "bed" and learning what the English and ASL words for
those items were.
We borrowed this popular public library idea and tied it
into units for each grade level (elementary). Fifth grade wrote their own tutorial on How to make a Teddy Bear after completing research on the
process.
A night of ghost stories, mystery games, and fun.
Students learn the rules to playing board games (a new skill for most), enjoy
Deaf ghost stories in ASL and creepy snacks.
Use whatever you like from our blog.

What great ideas! I love the idea of adapting public library programs for residential schools.
