Where Has the Time Flown?

My goodness! It's already the fifth week of school? Time is flying by!

So far, kindergarten has done a great job learning library rules, how to respect books (care for them), and how to choose a book. First graders are learning how to come without their classes for open circulation. Second grade, however, has learned they will learn more about the library than any other grade! They have already learned self-checkout, and they are learning about the Dewey Decimal System, the online catalog, and accessing our shelf of e-books!

Third and fourth graders learned a powerful message: you don't have to choose between being an athlete and being a scholar...BE BOTH! Spend equal time on reading as you do on practicing your sport, and it will show. (Thank you Malcolm Mitchell of the University of Georgia Bulldogs and ABC News!)

Fifth graders are about to embark on an intensive investigative science project...Museum in the Schools! Next week they will begin choosing topics and start the investigation.

Whew!
