Lowell LLC News
Third Grade
Third grade has been working on using the features of an atlas. Last week we had a hunt through the atlas for various countries, and this week we looked for more detailed information.
Fourth and Fifth Grade
Fourth and fifth graders were introduced to the online reading tool Destiny Quest. Using Destiny Quest will allow students to write reviews, create lists of books, and see what their friends (and teachers) at Lowell are reading! You can check it out by following this link to our catalog and choosing Destiny Quest from the sidebar on the right.
Kindergarten, First and Second Grade
Kindergarten, first and second graders have been learning more about the features of our library. We have talked about how to take care of books as well as what books and series might be interesting this year!
Meet Miss G.
Hello! I am very excited to be a part of your Lowell community and get to know all of your wonderful students!
I have had a chance to meet some of you at Back to School and Curriculum Nights, but wanted to share a little about myself with you. For the past seven years, I have been teaching kindergarten in Yorkville. During that time I earned my masters degree as a Library Information Specialist through Olivet Nazarene University. Prior to teaching in Yorkville, I taught English in Wuhan, China for one year after graduating from Augustana College. I have always loved reading and am looking forward to sharing that excitement with your children.
Please feel free to stop by the library and see what is happening.
Volunteers Wanted
If you would like to help out in the LLC this year and did not sign up at "Back to School Night", please email me at amanda.grudzien@cusd200.org.
I will be sending home a calendar later this month for volunteers to choose when they can help. Each month will be flexibly scheduled so it works for you!
There is a lot to help with in the library - circulation tasks, repairing books, working on projects, or helping students find the books they need. Please let me know if you have any questions.
