Graphic Novels - Oh My!

Graphic novels are popular with all grades and ages of students. Fifth graders are trying their hand at making their own comic strips. Students learned about talk balloons, thought balloons, panels and sequencing. They have a choice of creating their own hand-written paper version or trying out the Comix Creator on MakeBeliefsComix.com.

Destiny Quest

5th grade students learned a new way to use our Follett library catalog: Destiny Quest! Destiny Quest is like Facebook or Goodreads for students. They can recommend books to each other and add books to their virtual bookshelf. Students were very excited about this new feature!

New Year, New Books!

What could be better than a big shipment of new library books? That is what we received on Monday, the first day back from Christmas break.  Mrs. Graham, Mrs. Coats and our wonderful library volunteers are busy processing and preparing these books to get them out to the students as soon as possible! Excitement is building. Be on the lookout for sneak peeks of some of the awesome new books.
