Lesson During the Book Fair

We love it when we have a book fair, but it does make it a little harder sometimes to have classes and keep the media center open for check outs.  Fifth graders didn't seem to mind and were working hard on their digital citizenship lesson!

 

  

 

Kindergarteners love books!

Several kindergarten classrooms learned to use shelf markers today to choose their own library books. They did a great job! The other two classes will also do this on their visit next Friday and I will add their pictures here - so be sure and check back!  UPDATE - Additional photos have been added from class visits on 1/28/17.

Hour of Code 2016

This is the third year that we have participated in the Hour of Code in the Media Center. Kindergarten through 5th grade participated. All grades "unplugged" to learn some of the processes that coders use such as logical thinking. Kindergarten through 3rd grade worked through different versions of programming a "robot" while 4th and 5th graders learned about how packets travel across the Internet and what can cause a network to go down. Some of the upper grades also tried their hand at coding through their choice of sites on their second visit. These sites are always available for students to use through the "Learn to Code" page on our MediaWiki.

The Singing Zoologist

Kindergarten through 3rd grade really enjoyed our visit with Lucas Miller, the Singing Zoologist today.
Mr. Miller's shows were different for each grade level and his hilarious, but scientifically true songs about subjects such as metamorphosis and ocelots, were as educational as they were funny.
