All Books Due on May 18

All library books are due May 18!  Can you believe summer is almost here?!  We will need all of the books checked in by then so that we can complete our library inventory.  If you have overdue books, let's start working hard to find them and return them.  Thank you for your help in returning your library books on time!!

Animal Adaptations Research

Fourth grade students are visiting the library this week to learn about animal adaptations.  The students really seem to enjoy this research because they are able to choose which animals they would like to learn about.  They research four animals, finding the habitat and four adaptations for each animal.  This is fourth grade's fourth time to visit the library for research this year.  Together we have completed units on Native American tribes, scientists, poetry, and now animal adaptations.  Once again this year, animal adaptations seems to be their favorite of all!

Solar System Research

Third grade came to the library last week for solar system research.  They worked very hard, completing four stations in four days.  Students researched the sun and planets through a variety of activities.  It is always a pleasure having third grade visit the library!
