This month in library classes…

Kindergarten classes are listening to trickster tales from around the world.

First and second graders are learning how to use different book features, such as the title page, table of contents and glossary.  The grade 2 unit will go into greater detail so that students will continue to build on prior knowledge.  Both grade levels are using the app Seesaw on our ipads to explore the book parts and show what they know.

Third and fourth graders will be learning how to find information in print sources this month to get ready for a spring research project.

Fifth graders continue their work on their library president campaigns.  Students are charged with nominating a fictional children’s book character and then creating a persuasive video.  They will be using green screen apps to superimpose themselves onto backgrounds of their own design.  All videos will be shown internally.  Content will not be published outside of our closed school domain.   All students in grades 3 through 5 will be eligible to vote at the conclusion of the project.
