    Please enjoy these library lesson plans. I am going to start creating lessons or activities using books as a starting point, and since I live in Texas I will be using the  Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) as a reference point. Please feel free to use these lessons in their entirety or as a inspiration for your own. My only request is that if you print the lessons please credit me as the source, thanks!
