A group of Brockport Barclay third-grade students participated in an excursion December 17 to teach younger students about librarians worldwide.
The third-graders had been learning about obstacles people around the world face in regards to acquiring books to read, so the activity provided them a chance to make a journey and deliver books to UPK students.
The Barclay group loaded up bags full of books to give to the students, then took turns carrying them as they trekked the “long way” around their school to Ginther Elementary.
Once they arrived at the UPK classrooms, the third-graders each joined up with a pair of UPK students to tell them about their mission and read them a letter they wrote about the book they were gifting.
Following the adventure, the Barclay students wrote about their experience as librarians, comparing and contrasting it to that of different librarians in the countries they studied.
