Volunteer Opportunities
Elementary Reading Community Video Project
A group of elementary teachers are starting a video library of community members in various professions reading children's books for our Elementary students/classes. These videos will be geared towards Kindergarten - 4th grade for career exploration.
Community Members Reading:
- A children's book that talks about their career
- A children's book that talks about helping their community
- Their favorite children's book
A group of students are working together to record, edit, and publish these videos on a dedicated page on the school website.
At the end of the year, we could do a "Meet My Favorite Reader/Career Day” and have lunch with the kiddos.
These videos are great for students who are distance learning, when the teacher is talking about different careers with students and is a great way to meet a wide variety of people while learning about our community! Then we can order the books you are reading so students can read them again in class or along with you while you are reading in the future.
If you need help finding a book to read, we can help pick out a book that we think you and the students would like from our library.
Recording will take place in December & January. The videos will be published by February for "I Love To Read" Month. The goal is to have at least +30 videos for the month and for the whole year.
If you want to be a part of the project, please call 218-237-6442 or email krystalmurphy@parkrapids.k12.mn.us
