Another school year begins, during the first week of school in library class students get to listen to stories, we discuss the rules and expectations in class, and most of all, what they loved doing last year and they want to do again in class this year. No surprise, every grade loved using the iPads, checking out books, and coding. All of these will be done again in library class this year.
September 15th is International DOT Day, a day created by the author and illustrator Peter H. Reynolds.
In the story
The Dot, a child finds her artistic freedom of expression. Students in grades 1-5 watched the Tumblebook of The Dot, and thought about their hopes and dreams and how they would make their mark on this school year in library.
