It's the end of August! What's been happening in the AME Library?

Welcome to the 23-24 school year, Dillo Readers!
We have had a BUSY beginning of the school year!  To support our teachers' professional learning and collaboration time, the library is on the specials rotation this year.  This means that students will come to the library in their color groups during their teachers' planning  periods for approximately forty-five minutes.  

So what have we been doing this month?  Library orientation lessons on book care and shelf-marker use; reviewing library expectations to be safe, respectful, and responsible with each other and with materials; and essential agreements on how we want to be treated have been the focus of these first couple of rotations--as well as checking out books!  

Boosterthon huddles have also been a part of specials this past week, and will continue into next week!  Be sure to have your student log onto mybooster.com to join our school's fundraising efforts.

Interested in volunteering in our school library this year?  Be sure to register as a volunteer with our district first  , and then contact Chris Margocs via email:  christine_margocs@roundrockisd.org .

September library events and lessons will include an author visit, nonfiction text features, use of the online catalog, and introductions to our Bluebonnet and Armadillo reading programs.  Lessons and events vary by grade level.

It's been great to see students excited to check out books already.  Keep on reading, Dillos!
