2. Literacy Libraries
The Literacy Libraries located in (1) the room behind the Library and (2) the lunch room at the end of the Kindergarten Hallway are now organized and ready to be used!
Sure, you may have to maneuver around a few boxes in one, but they are usable!
Both Libraries have:
Books with multiple copies for students arranged by DRA levels
room behind library goes from Level 1 - 26
lunchroom goes from Level 28 - 44
In addition to books for students, the room behind the Library has:
Books with CD's in both English and Spanish
Oversized books for reading to large groups
DRA kits -check these out from the library
Teacher Resources for teacher use
There are clothes pins with teacher names on them, if you don't have a pin yet, don't fret they're coming. Pull your clothes pin and clip it to the box you are taking a set of books from. Then return when you are ready.
If the door is locked just ask one of us in the library to let you in!
