Breakouts
We're kicking off a great winter of learning with breakouts! Fourth and fifth grade classes are reviewing important digital citizenship skills while rescuing our Chromebooks and second grade classes are saving books through their call number breakout! It's a fun way to stretch their brains and problem solve!
DonorsChoose.org
Thank you to everyone who supported our DonorsChoose campaign! Our new comfortable chairs arrived this week and we are having fun with our independent reading!
Books, Books, Books
First grade students are becoming outstanding library users while learning to use our OPAC to look up books. They are doing an outstanding job of learning new resources and finding new great reads!
