Grizzly Library Links
linking teachers and students to resources for learning
Welcome Back!
I hope you had an amazing and relaxing summer. I'd like to introduce you to a newsletter that I will send to you monthly. I want to share what we are doing in the library, lessons that will be offered, new books to try, resources available and a question for the month. I hope this newsletter will help us to stay connected and give you an opportunity to use the library as a resource for your classroom. Come by and visit anytime.
BITS AND BYTES
Things you need to know.
First Day of School Reading
As we are trying to build a reading community, I would love it if you would take a selfie of you and the book you will read to your class on the first day of school. (I can take the picture if you like.) I will make a slide show of the pictures for our webpage. Thanks so much for your help, you're awesome!
Book Requests
Some of you have already given me titles of books you would like to see added to the library. If there are other books you would like to see added, just click here for a form to provide the information. I will do my best to add the titles to the library.
Library Scheduling
Be sure and come by the library this week to sign-up for your class library time. We will have some flexible scheduling in the library this year. I'm excited about the possibilities this will create. I'll tell you more at in-service.
Check out the classroom library on this webpage. Love it!
Challenge Question
Want to encourage your students to do more research? This section will have a question each month for your kids to explore or maybe a challenge to figure something out. The question/challenge will be here and in the library. Students can submit their answers throughout the month to a box in the library. At the end of the month, I will draw responses until I get 5 correct answers. Those students can come down to the library for a small prize. For now, I'm providing a link here showing how bubble gum is made. Very interesting.
Please remind your students to put their name and your name on their answers so I can find them.
