Exciting Activities in Our Library!
Students have enjoyed watching our caterpillars turn into Painted Lady butterflies, predicting what type of insect will emerge from our egg sac, and helping decide if we will keep low circulating books in the library or weed them from our collection. Some teachers are taking advantage of our Makerspaces! Students may earn time to work on puzzles, origami, lego stories, kinex and more! What a great tool to help students reach for a goal! All Teachers (PK - 5) may reward students with MakerSpace time! Teachers must send a note stating the student is there to use Makerspaces, the time the student was sent from class and the time he/she should return. If a pair of students are sent, they may choose to record each other giving a book talk or showing off their Makerspace work! Groups of up to 4 students may be sent at a time. Please, let's use this awesome resource to reward our students!
Reward Awesome Classwork with Student Makerspace Time!

Reading is Fundamental - Providing each Rhame First Grader with a Free Book
We will access it through our online library catalog, Destiny. So, after students login to Destiny one time on their device, they will not have to login again!
Here are just a few reasons this is a game changer for our school:
With Biblionasium you can:
Tailor reading programs to students' individual needsMonitor student reading logs, create reading challenges, help students expand genre choices and tailor reading lists – all online and un-lose-able! Build and administer programs by group, class, grade and by individual student, regardless of reading level.
Track valuable dataTrack and get Biblionasium reports on what each student is reading and at what level, using Lexile® measures provided onsite for thousands of books. Track progress of individual students, groups, classes or grades as a whole.
Keep kids’ organized in their independent readingBiblionasium’s virtual bookshelves help kids keep track of what they’ve read, what they like, and what they plan to read.
Foster peer-to-peer supportKids are encouraged to share book recommendations and share books, building conversation and connections around reading.
Supplement your “team”Biblionasium mascot and reading coach Chip Manzee motivates and entertains kids, challenging them and rewarding good reading behavior. Our virtual reading rewards and recognition complement your in-class acknowledgement of a job well done.
As educators, we know that students read better when they do it consistently and as part of a community. Biblionasium provides the safe environment and support to make a real difference in building students’ independent reading.
