It's Wednesday! What's happening in the Sommer Library?

April flew by in the library!

It's that time of year again--time for Armadillo Readers' Choice voting!  Our kindergarten, first, and second grade students are voting for their favorite Armadillo book via a Google form on iPads this week.  We'll announce the winners for our campus on broadcast next Monday!

We are in the second half of our lesson cycle for the upper grades.  Third grade is learning about internet safety and digital citizenship.  Fourth grade is practicing reading comprehension strategies by answering the "5 Ws plus H" questions after reading.  Fifth grade is learning how to take notes, find primary sources, and copy citations using Gale resources.

Next week, ALL grades will have a read-aloud as their library lesson!  The "big kids" noted missing their stories in the Book Nook on our end-of-year survey, so they will get to revisit it next week.

May 10th is our due date for all books!  Kindergarten through second grade will not check out books next week.  Third through fifth grade will be allowed to have one book on their account to read after finishing their STAAR tests, but those books must remain in the classroom.  They are due no later than May 17th.

The Book Witch will start hunting down overdues soon!  Prize drawings are coming, too: we will draw random names to check for clear accounts starting May 16th through the end of school.

Summer break is just around the corner!  Have you started your summer reading list yet?
