A cheerful teacher reads a book to three attentive children sitting in front of her, engaged in storytelling.

Library Media classes are held on a four-day rotation schedule. Library books are to be kept in students' backpacks and brought to school every day. Any day that your student has had their library book read to them, read with them or by read by themselves, they will be allowed to go to the library to check out a new book.  

Library Media lessons are approximately sixty minutes with library media and technology standards are woven throughout each lesson.

Kindergarten, First Grade, and Second Grade lessons during the first semester are centered around a specific genre. Our second-semester lessons in first and second grade are focused on research using books, encyclopedias, periodicals, and internet sources.
