What's Happening?
* It has been so much fun to welcome our students back to the library this fall! We've been working on library procedures and locating books in the library.
*4th and 5th graders have been completing a photo scavenger hunt using the iPads. They are locating books using their call number and then taking a picture of the book.
*Mrs. Guthrie and I are working on getting everyone into AR so that they can start taking tests and earning points!
