LEARNING RESOURCES AND STUDENT ACTIVITIES
Happy Holidays!
Students will visit the library every other week during their ELA class period for lessons, book checkout, and reading time. Some of our planned activities for the year include digital citizenship lessons, Hour of Code, book trailers, reading contests, and our book fair.
You can always check out an e-book or audiobook on your iPad using Sora, search the databases from our new MackinVia link found in ClassLink's LHUB, or find a variety of online resources in the library Canvas course. Please ask your ELA teacher or me if you need the enrollment code for the library Canvas course.
More information about upcoming library events will be shared through the library Canvas course and school announcements.
It's great to see you all again,
Dr. Kinnaird
If you need help with online resources, please email me at kinnairdk@lisd.net
