Inspired Students Do Their Own Research

Ms. Hernandez's class came to the library. By reading one book (& doing a KWL), the class decided they wanted to learn more about spiders!  And so they did. . . . . .

I was just reminded of a great resource, the New York Public Library!  From the Home Page, check out "NYPL for Kids."  There is a section called "Tumble Books" where you will find, online books (in foreign languages too), games, etc.

OPALS

OPALS is our new online catalog.   You can search for a title anywhere internet access is available.

Scholastic Book Fair

Beginning Monday (10/19/09) thru Friday (10/23/09), our school is hosting its annual Scholastic Book Fair, which is being held in the library.  Little shoppers are previewing the collection and creating their wish lists for their families.  It's so much fun to watch the excitement on their faces as they look over the collection!
