1st Grade Library

First graders in our library have had a change to their library routine.  They are now able to check out three books apiece during library check out.  Since our return to school, we have discussed how to pick a "Just Right Book" by using several strategies.  Students are expected to check out one book that they can read and may pick two other books that allow them to explore their personal interests.

Welcome Back!

Welcome back everyone!  The library is up and running and looking forward to visitors.  I will not be sending out overdue notices this week as we are just coming back from a break and everyone needs a chance to get settled into routines again.

I will be making some small changes to our blog in the coming month and will share those changes with classes as they happen.

January is great month to cozy up with a good book
