News from the library
Lower elementary students have just finished learning database basics. We had two fun-filled weeks researching bats and birds! Our first through third graders can now log onto a school computer, navigate to our school databases and find all kinds of information. These are foundational skills that we will continue to develop throughout the school year.
Before we go on break for Thanksgiving, we're having a chance to let our creative side out in the library. PreK-6th grade makers are having a blast making fall crafts! We will soon have a makerspace up and running and these craft activities are laying groundwork for rules and procedures while using it. Makerspace is the next step in library evolution and I can't wait to see what our students will create!
Digital Citizenship is also on the horizon. All grade levels have an age appropriate topic to cover designed to help them navigate the digital age safely and kindly as they grow into their role as happy, healthy citizens of the digital age. Cyber bullying, online safety, and information sharing (or not sharing) are all topics covered. This is another learning experience that we will continue to develop over the course of the school year.
I hope you have a wonderful break!
Happy Fall, Happy Thanksgiving, and Happy Reading!
