WELCOME BACK!!!

Hello Bitterroot Students and Families!

I look forward to seeing you in the library this year!  September starts in the library with orientation, how to use library, check outs and due dates, and Internet Safety.  4th-6th grade students do self check out in the library and are responsible for keeping track of their library cards during the year.

I will be sending home information to families about getting library cards and using the Bitterroot Library and the District's E Library.

Thanks!

Mrs. Anderson

101 Lego Design

Students were challenged to take 100 Legos and design something to build.  Each group was given 100 Legos and a planning form.  Students planned out design and then built it according to their plans.  As a class we are creating a ebook to document our creativity and share how the final designs matched up with original ideas.  Stay tuned for the book...
