Integrated Arts in Education

See how teachers are integrating the arts into their classrooms

The Sherrill Library has a special resource for educators, therapists, counselors to use called the Teaching Resource Center, which is a collection of manipulatives, textbooks, picture books, leveled readers and juvenile fiction and non fiction.

The most effective way to search the collection is to go to the FLO catalog, select the "Advanced Search" option and scroll down the "Location" tab option to find "Lesley-Sherrill Teaching Resources Collection".  Once you have that highlighted, go back above to the search box and start searching!

Manipulatives refer to various objects or materials that students can touch and move around in order to help them learn key educational or social/emotional concepts.

3-D Printer - Located on the Lower Level of the Library.  If you would like to learn how to use a 3-D printer, please contact Bettiann McKay.

AccuCut Die Cutting Machine- Die cutting refers to the process in which you use a machine and a die to cut out multiples of the same shape. Think of the die as a cookie cutter. You can create the same shape over and over out of multiple materials without using scissors, a craft knife or any other means to cut them out. It saves you time and makes your shapes look so much nicer than hand-cutting.   Located on the Lower Level of the Library.
