I hope everyone has had a restful holiday vacation! I greatly enjoyed the holiday break and enjoyed having time to read, play board games, and bake/cook. Many exciting things are in the works for library lessons in 2016! The library is in the process of adding a class set of iPads for students to use to create projects, research information, and discover books to checkout and read. I am very excited about this opportunity! Technology can be a very effective tool to motivate and engage students to do their best work. Be on the lookout for digital projects over the next few weeks! Please encourage your child to read something outside their "comfort zone" this year. Captain Underpants, Goosebumps, and Diary of a Wimpy Kid are excellent reads...but so are Serafina's Promise, Whistle in the Dark, and No Pirates Allowed. Books are an excellent resource to teach readers about the world and to begin forming their own opinions on issues. Encourage children to read. Ask them about what they are reading. Allow children to ask you questions about the life lessons and issues they may be learning from the book they are reading. Each week, a section of this blog will be dedicated to a book that deals with topics relevant to our world today. Look for the first book to be posted later this week!
