Welcome back! We have had an extremely busy first two weeks. It has been exciting to get to know the new 5th graders. This past week I have been giving all 5th grade classes a library orientation to help familiarize them with where materials and located and the digital resources available to them. During orientation, students used the iPads to complete a QR code scavenger hunt. Working in teams, they had to use Destiny, library materials, and search the library stacks to locate different items. It was awesome to see the teamwork they displayed and their excitement over using a technology that is new to most of them.
We also changed the entire look of the library. We are excited that we were able to use profits from last year's book fair to purchase new sofas and loveseats! Your book fair purchases have really helped us modernize the look and feel of the library. In addition, we extended the computer lab and added a "genius bar" or charging station. Bring in your devices and plug them in during the day.
We look forward to seeing you in the library often this year. We are just getting started, but so many exciting things are already happening.
