Skill Builders: Library & Research is a hands-on program designed for homeschooling families who want to develop strong academic skills in a supportive library setting. This program is taught by Ms. Pukahi, a former Elementary School Librarian Teacher.
Participants will:
- Learn how to navigate the library catalog, online resources, and digital databases.
- Practice locating reliable and age-appropriate sources.
- Develop strategies for evaluating and organizing information.
- Gain experience writing clear, structured research papers.
- Create presentations using Google Slides.
- Share their work with library friends, building confidence in public speaking and peer learning.
Students may borrow a library Chrome book or bring their own devices for research, writing, and presentations. Parents will appreciate the structured skill-building, while students will enjoy the creativity and teamwork of presenting what they’ve learned.
This program provides a supportive environment where homeschoolers can explore their curiosity, build essential academic skills, and celebrate their learning with a community of peers.
