Library Update
Lauren Avery
August and September
I have showed our kindergarten and 1st graders our sections in nonfiction and picture books and we've been listening to Young Hoosier Book Award Nominees (we've read 7 out of the 20 this year so far) and will be voting on our favorite. I will send our votes to the Indiana Library Federation so that Hoosier Road Elementary will have a chance to help in choosing our state-wide winner.
We are focusing on learning how to use Sora (a way of checking out books through the Hamilton East Public Libary) and will be doing book tastings soon. I will start doing LOTS of book talks this month and will be doing campfire stories toward the end of October (nothing too scary of course!).

A Way For Students to Check Out Digital Books Through the Public Library
Students can check out books by using their student ID (also lunch number) and you type it in as the library card and the pin to checkout. ONLY use the number and leave off the "hse" tag.
There is a digital way to download books onto your device so you don't have to require a wifi signal to read (thinking ahead for car trips and Fall Break).
