First, Second and Third Grade Parents

Our Elementary Library has over 25,000 records available for check out by our students and yourselves. This is a lot of books in Spanish and English, videos, read-alongs, DVD's CD's, etc. to try and locate without the use of a search tool.







This search tool for us is our electronic catalog. From the onset, students need to become very good users of this instrument to find what they want or need from the library. This certainly is preparation for library use anywhere in the world!!

How exciting to see children as young as our first graders glued to a computer and jotting down call numbers and walking to the shelves.

We are Authors!!! We are Illustrators!!!

Dear Parents of Kindergarden Students
Your child has been learning about the rol of authors and illustrators. Together, we wrote a book, drew pictures, and published it through the the Eagle's Publishing House. Students were excited to see the final product. Please ask to see it in your child's homeroom.

DO STOP BY

Please come visit us and share our excitement as this school year we were able to expand our computers for student use from eight to seventeen. This allows for better teaching practice as less students have to crowd around one computer during teaching lessons.

Fifth graders will not have to stand in line to search for information on the web or on the data bases our library provides. This is important as their library time is limited and they are getting ready for that 780-word paper they need to turn in at the end of the school year.

Fourth Grade News

Parents of 4th Grade Students
This month, we have been studying the Easy Collection. We have done an interactive assignment on it and all students have a handout that they have pasted to their notebooks. Next week, we will be filling in a Worksheet and then taking a short quiz. Once I am sure all students understand the makings of this collection, we will move to contrast and compare the Easy Collection with the Fiction Collection.
