Students in K-3 have been examining features of non-fiction texts. Photographs, bold words, captions and charts are just a few features we have taken a closer look at. We have even created a mind map to show you what we learned. Come visit the library to see!

Students in 4th and 5th grade have been working on research skills. Specifically, we have been comparing and contrasting different sources (encyclopedia, website, video) and evaluating the validity of the information accessed. Fifth graders are learning to create a works cited page in MLA formatting. You can access the formatting instructions on the important links page.

Procedures for all grade levels include a quiet and appropriate arrival, checkout, checking and book care. Primary students are working on locating the title and spine of a book. We have discussed the roles of authors and illustrators. Intermediate students are learning to use call numbers, identify and use the main elements of the online library
catalog (Destiny) recognize the main area of the library for each call number; browse to find a “just right book.” All grade levels are working towards Common Core State standards in reading.
