Library Updates
These last couple of weeks we have been gearing up for the end of the year and also working with Ms. Hashem's and Mr. Tyrell's ESOL students on a research project learning about countries and cities around the world by creating detailed maps within Google My Maps and analyzing cultural artwork using Google Arts & Culture.
We've also been working on a website to promote summer reading. Please scroll down for more information related to that!
Library books are due!
