National Library Month
What a strange month! Please know that during this difficult time, the library is still here for you online. Please visit us on MyConnect or on Destiny. Click on All Courses on MyConnect to add the library to your dashboard. Or, click on library from our school site for the Destiny Homepage.
I love dropping into classes on Zoom to offer advice or lessons.

E-Book Read Alouds
Where: Zoom links will be shared via MyConnect email.
What: El Deafo by Cece Bell -- Ms. Furtado will be sharing her screen to show and read this graphic novel as an optional enrichment activity.
Why: To help students who have trouble with reading. Also, to help students who don't have trouble with reading. :) Some teachers are planning writing activities around this work. It is available for simultaneous borrows from SORA. I will post my zoom sessions on the Library MyConnect Site for anyone who can't make it.
Who: All are welcome. Please tell your students! Please consider counting this as an independent reading book if your students participate!
