SECOND AND THIRD GRADES
Our second and third grade students finished up their Adopt-a-Species research in early December with a to-be-unveiled community art project. I was SO impressed with their research skills and with the many things they learned through this unit.
The rest of December the library transformed into a MAKERSPACE! Each week, the students had the opportunity to learn and grow through hands-on experiences, painting, building, engineering, and creating through a series of high and low tech challenges set out at different centers.

FOURTH AND FIFTH GRADES
Since returning from winter break, these students have been using a new research resource - PebbleGo Next. Students used classtime to dig into each of the modules (see below) to write trivia questions. I work really hard with the upper elementary students to ensure they have the requisite research skills to set them up for success in middle school and beyond, and Pebble Go Next is a wonderful addition to our collection!
SO MANY NEW BOOKS!
