What's New in the Library???
Our third, fourth, and fifth grade classes are off to a great start with literature circles this year! Some of our favorite titles include; Found by Margaret Peterson Haddix, There's a Boy in the Girls Bathroom by Louis Sacher, and Because of Winn Dixie by Kate DiCamillo.
Our second grade classes are becoming insect experts! We are researching various insects, including; praying mantis, crickets, grasshoppers, cockroaches, termites, ladybugs, ants, beetles, dragonflies, and many others. Students are gathering information using various resources and writing their own insect poems!
