Happy New Year!




Well, we're midway through the first week of school in 2009 and things are chugging along here at the library. Our second graders are almost done with their research on the seven continents. They will soon be podcasting their research findings.

The fifth graders are working hard on their Explorer Webquests. They will be presenting their research via Power Point Presentations with the goal of convincing their classmates that their Explorer had the greatest impact on North America.

The Kindergartners will get started soon on researching animals and will then share their findings via interviews that will be podcasted. Mrs. Seymour and I are also working on plans for a project for the third graders that will integrate technology, research and writing.

Learning has never been so fun! I think the students are much more invested in their work because they are enjoying the new products they are producing - podcasts, Power Points, etc. rather than the old poster boards they always did before. If you have any great project ideas, I'd love to hear them. Just add your comments below. Until the next time...

Happy Reading!
