April Update
From the Library
Library Closure
The library is closed for the month of April for PARCC testing. I will be teaching in Ms. Nead's classroom during this time while she administers the test in the library. I will be available with my mobile library cart during Flight Check. If you would like me to visit your class let me know.
I will also have a small mailbox in the office for students to request book titles. PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR FLIGHT CHECK STUDENTS HAVE A BOOK TO READ DURING THEIR TESTING SESSIONS. All students will have to stay in their testing room for 2 days, there is the possibility of a lot of waiting for others complete a session and the only option the students have is to read.
Library Mailbox
For staff and students library materials requests.
Scholastic Book Fair
Our spring book fair is happening during the testing window. We will have our grand opening on Literacy Night April 13th from 6-7:30. We will be open after school for the remainder of that week.
Poetry Month
Let me know if you'd like a collection of poetry books for your class for Poetry Month. My favorite online source is Poetry 180, a poem a day from the Library of Congress.
Organize Your Websites
LiveBinders is a web tool to make it easier for your students to access the research sites you want them to use. Click on the link above to view the binder I created about ancient cultures. Next time you're going to do web research with your students (in May when we all have computers again) let me know and I can create a LiveBinder for you with a link on the library webpage.
