What's Happening in the Library
History Fair and Research Skills in the Library
We continued in Sixth Grade Social Studies by reviewing the Aldine Internet Resources, and determining which resources we thought would be of most benefit to us as researchers. This gave us an opportunity to break out our brand new Chromebooks to test them out.
We are still working on getting everyone working passwords for the Chromebooks. They will prove to be a valuable resource for students to help them gain the technology skills they need.
Ms. Loas helps us kick off research in the LMC!
Students were really excited to get to use our new laptops.
Our iTech Mr. Hill was on hand to help students who had trouble logging on.
