Each week students are given an opportunity to take Accelerated Reading tests
using the library computers.

to draw and color pictures to go with some sentences in a mini book. They
also checked out books.

autobiography. Students also checked out books.

Your Books Wisely". They also began the worksheet "Name That Book" in which
they had to read a book description, make a title and draw a cover to go with
it. Students also checked out books.

fiction books in alphabetical order so they know where to find them on the
shelves. Students also checked out books.

they had to match a book title with its genre or description. Students also
started the worksheet "Putting Call Numbers in Order." Students also checked

Grade 7
Students helped our 1st Grade B students in computer lab. They helped the
1st graders log into Accelerated Reader and take an AR test on the book "The
Cat That Went Woof". The students also began preparing to write their
autobiography by answering some questions on the worksheet "Your
Autobiography". Students were also given the opportunity to check out books.
PreK
We read the books "The Snow Lambs" by Debi Gliori and "Emily and the
Snowflake" by Jan Wahl.
Kindergarten
We read the book "A Place Called Kindergarten" by Jessica Harper. Students
have completed their "practice" book titled "Taking Care of a Book", so we
read them in class and the students were able to take them home in a plastic
bag. If their practice books are returned on time and in good condition, the
student will be able to start checking out a REAL library book.
