We are off to a great start in the Media Center. All our classes from Kindergarten through Grade 5 have visited the Media Center and checked out books. During the first weeks, Grades 3-4-5 are learning how to self check out and check in, as well as how to search our online catalog Destiny. They are doing a great job!
Grades 1-2 are learning about the different neighborhoods of the Media Center and what kind of books are in each section. We are having fun discovering the many resources previously unknown!
Kindergarten students are hearing a library related story and checking out a book to take home. Please share their choice book and show them your love of reading!
Just a reminder: books are checked out for a 2 week loan period. Students must return their choice books in order to check out new titles. Kindergarten and first grade students should return their books weekly, so that they can choose a new book during the class media time.
Happy Reading-
Mrs. Gsell
End of the Year Update
Thank you to all our students for returning your checked out books! We had a successful inventory and everything is ready for you in the Media Center.
Happy Reading!

5 Finger Rule
 | Choosing the right book at the right level ... | |
1. | Pick a book of interest. | |
2. | Open the book to the middle to a page with no pictures. | |
3. | Read the book aloud (preferably to someone else). | |
4. | Hold up one finger for every word that you do not know the meaning or that you have a great deal of difficulty pronouncing. (Don't worry about names or places.) | |
RESULTS: | ||
0-1 FINGERS | The book is TOO EASY! It is a dessert book. | |
2-3 FINGERS | The book is JUST RIGHT. Start reading! | |
4-5 (or more) FINGERS | The book is a CHALLENGE BOOK. You might enjoy reading parts of the book or reading it with an adult. | |
