Learning in the Library
In Kindergarten and first grade, students focus on learning:
The parts of a book
Library book care
Differentiating between fiction and nonfiction
How to be responsible and stay safe online
In second through fifth grades, students work on learning:
How to use our online library system with ebooks, audiobooks, and read-along books.
The basics of copyright and fair use laws and how to follow them responsibly.
How to be a safe and responsible digital citizen who evaluates sources critically.
To complete research projects that increase in requirements each year.
Book Fairs
Each year we have two books fairs; one in the fall and one in the spring. These raise money for the library so that I can buy books that children will enjoy and that are contemporary and represent our children.
Videos at School
WS/FCS School Board Policy 6161.3 sets out the guidelines for viewing videos at school.
The Elementary Parent Permission form is linked here and available to be used.
