The library
is trying to get back to full speed ahead after the breaks, but it’s been tough
with the snow days and cold delays. It
seems everyone is searching for any harbinger of spring. Fortunately, our
library calendar gives us some signs of hope.
Our K-2 students have finished their big research projects and Winter
“Wonder”land is over for another year. Kindergartners are now learning about the Caldecott medal that is given
out annually for the best picture book of the past year. 1st graders
have been spending a lot of time with Dr. Seuss in preparation for his birthday
on March 2nd. Ask your 1st grader about our new library
goldfish, inspired by our reading of Gustav the Goldfish and A Fish out of Water…by
the end of the week, they will have voted on a name for him.
2nd
graders are moving on to library skills. 3rd graders are finishing
up a long unit on Folktales, Fables and Myths. 4th graders will be
following the Iditarod dog sled race in Alaska for the next few weeks and
learning how to evaluate websites and use them to find reliable information.
5th graders are starting their biography research project and that always means
that spring is just around the corner.
To get us
through the long month of March, we've decided to have two bonus open library nights. The first one will be on Wednesday, March 11th and will be a
“Bring your whole family to the library night”. The second will be Tuesday,
March 24th and will be a beach party theme. The library will open
from 6:30-7:30 both nights. Please bring your families to browse the shelves,
share books in the library and check some out to take home.
Keep looking for the sun and don’t forget
to Read4Fun!
