Welcome to BiblioGarden – Your Source for PYP Library Lesson Plans
BiblioGarden is your source for free PYP library lesson plans. This collection was developed specifically for librarians working within the International Baccalaureate (IB) Primary Years Program (PYP) framework. The lessons have been developed over many years, working in collaboration with teachers in many classrooms.

Digital Lesson Plans. The digital lesson plan template has no annual fee and there is no waiting for calendar dates to be updated! Just select the month and year from the calendar dropdown menu within the document and watch the magic happen! No more spending hours writing the dates on calendars, now with just a push of a button the electronic lesson plans will instantly fill in the correct. This article shares my favourite books for developing the IB PYP Learner Profile attributes of Thinker and Inquirer and, in turn, the Approaches to Learning thinking skills. In addition, I was excited to host a giveaway on my social media accounts and was able to give away 7 books to 7 teachers around the world! A well planned lesson, documented on one of my free lesson plan templates, will ensure that you can quickly revise the content, objectives, level and relevance of the lesson for future use. In the event that you cannot make it to a class, it also serves as a great teaching aid for a substitute teacher with the minimum of interruption to your.
Something for Everyone
Whether you are a first time PYP librarian, or have been in a library for several years, I hope you will find value in these lesson plans. I have intentionally left off the grade level they were originally developed for, as I believe the content in these lessons is compatible across all grade levels.
In addition to the six transdisciplinary themes, I have included four additional topics. These are Back-to-School, Library Games, Special Events and Holidays, and Information Literacy. This should help you build a more comprehensive program to help meet the functional needs of your library, as well as fulfill the mission of the IB, “to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect.” (IBO.org)

Where to Begin?
The lessons are organized numerically, in the order suggested to be taught, by transdisciplinary theme. Currently there are approximately 120 lesson plans posted (135 written), but stay tuned as I continue to post lessons in Unit of Inquiry (UoI) blocks. By the end of May, 2018, all lesson plans for every UoI across Grades 1-5 should be complete.
Have a question? You can learn more about me and my background here. Or, feel free to contact me directly, and I will do my best to answer your question, quickly and completely.
Thank you! Please use and adapt these lessons for your own students and school. It is my great pleasure and honor to share my work with you.
