Welcome to a brand-new school year! I am happy to be back at the Carondelet Library, Upper and Lower Campus. We have lots of new books to enjoy and new, exciting things to learn!
Here are just a few of the great things we will do this year:
Kindergarten: learn to use the library and how to checkout books! Read books by Mo Willems, Dr. Seuss, and other favorite authors.
First Grade: Read books by favorite authors such as Eric Carle, Laura Numeroff, Dr. Seuss, and more! Learn research skills as we study presidents and ocean animals.
Second Grade: Research leaders in America for our Hero Projects. Read chapter books!
Third Grade: Learn how to use our online library catalog, Destiny, and its interactive feature, Destiny Quest. Read Maud Hart Lovelace Nominees (Minnesota's Kids' Choice Book Award). Learn more about the way a library is arranged, and the basics of alphabetical and numerical order.
Fourth Grade: Research a state for our state projects. Read the Maud Hart Lovelace Nominees. Do reader's theater, including scary reader's theater for Halloween!
Fifth Grade: Write our own book recommendations and record them in front of the green screen. Learn library words and check for mastery. Read the Maud Hart Lovelace Nominees and make videos about them. Read a Newbery award winner!
Middle School: Do a variety of technology and book projects including: introductions using the Tellagami app, green screen videos, research for National History Day, research for social studies projects, book trailers in iMovie, book promotional posters, book blogging, and more!
