SUMMER FUN IN THE LIBRARIES
We have added a new face to our libraries! I'm so excited that Mrs. Crooms is joining us in both libraries. She loves reading all kinds of books and also loves coffee! Her dream is to open a bookshop/coffee shop. She is perfect for this job! If you see Mrs. Crooms, give her a big WELCOME!
Elementary: We added a magic treehouse, why?? Because reading is MAGICAL! We hope you love the new look!
For Students:
Try out some eBooks this year! We have a great collection right here at Gary, AND they are easy to access! You can find them on the Destiny Discover link.
Also, don't forget to participate in our weekly challenges and activities. Prizes will, OF COURSE, be awarded!
ELEMENTARY:
Be on the look out for the BOOK DELIVERY CART! We will be making our rounds to deliver books that you request in the mornings and after lunch! Can't wait to see you reading!
For Parents:
We also have an AMAZING resource called TexQuest that allows students to access SAFE and SECURE articles, videos, images, news, etc. TexQuest is used like an encyclopedia, and it's all online and current!
For Teachers:
In case you are wondering how to record a Google Meet, I have shared a short how-to video here!
Here is the link:
By the way, I can teach your students how to access these resources. They are GREAT resources for your students to have if we have to do remote learning.
We also wanted to share this link with you from Shake Up the Learning. We love her podcast! On this post, she shares google extensions that you can add to your classroom. Hope you enjoy!
