Inside the Issue
READING FUN
Students were introduced to
Reading Bingo. This program
provides an opportunity for
students to learn how to use the
online catalog, as well as
encourages students to read a
variety of topics and genres.
CURRICULUM
CONNECTIONS
Collaboration with classroom
teachers leads to fun and creative
lessons in the library! From "Setting
Detectives" to "Nonfiction Text
Features Ninja Warriors", the
classroom curriculum is being
reinforced in exciting ways!
LEARNING COMMONS
Opening this fall, the Lizzie Curtis
Elementary library welcomed students into
an inviting space designed with 21st
Century learners in mind. The open
concept library encourages collaboration
through the use of movable furniture that
can be rearranged to meet specific needs.
TECHNOLOGY
Students had the opportunity to
complete a digital breakout using
their knowledge of nonfiction
text structures. Working together
in small groups, they had to solve
puzzles and gather clues in order
to "break out".
