NEWS FROM THE LIBRARY
November/December 2019
Oh What Fun! SORA Reading App is a great way for your child to keep on reading over the winter break. Students can earn badges for reading and enjoy a user-friendly reading experience. Here’s a link if you need a little help getting started. OverDrive is linked with SORA. Here’s a tutorial if you need a refresher on how to enjoy this digital library. Even better, it's all free!
Give the gift of reading. Donate a book from this Amazon Wish List and know that many students will enjoy these books. These books go directly to the library. A mounted bookplate with your childs’ name will be placed on inside the front cover and he or she will receive first-check-out privileges. It’s a great way to foster your child’s love of reading and makes a difference in the library collection.
5th Graders did a digital citizenship lesson on Beyond Gender Stereotypes, and boy, did it stir up a lot of fun discussion about stereotypes and how sometimes they’re not true! Below are some of the Just Because poems that students wrote. They’re published as written.
JUST BECAUSE
Just because I’m a girl doesn’t mean I like make-up
Doesn’t mean I like dresses
Doesn’t mean I like Barbie
~Anonymous
Just because I’m a girl, doesn’t mean I am girly!
Just because I’m asian, doesn’t mean I speak chinese!
Just because I’m tall, doesn’t mean I have to get all the things from the top shelf!
~Anonymous
Just because I’m a boy
Doesn’t mean I don’t like Disney Princess
Doesn’t mean I should be tall
Doesn’t mean I have to be smart
Doesn’t mean I have to struggle in school
~Anonymous
Just because I’m tall
Doesn’t mean I can reach the top shelf
Doesn’t mean I play basketball
Doesn’t mean I wear size thirteen nikes
Just because I’m a girl doesn’t mean I love pink
Doesn’t mean I hate video games
Doesn’t mean I hate sports
