Library in the Classroom
Starting February 28th I will join students in the classroom for library class. Similar to last year, we will use this classroom time to explore our digital literacy and learning curriculum in more depth. Students will develop and deepen their skills with digital tools, communicate in a digital medium, and learn how computer technology works.

Kids loved the curling tendency of this old-school technology but didn't envision how this might be used in a classroom.

The mystery of the metal box intrigued and excited students as they pieced together what these were and how they were used.
- My child has a library book from before quarantine. What should I do with it? Please bring it back! There is no penalty for pre-quarantine books and I would love to have them back in the library so other kids can enjoy them.
- Will kids check out books after December? No, we will be storing our wonderful library until we return to Lowell in Fall 2023.
- Where can we access the databases and encyclopedias? Use the Lowell Library website and under SEARCH find a list of the databases students have access to through the school.
- What will students learn without the library? Don't worry! I selected a lot of books to continue our read alouds each week. We will also take this time to explore more aspects of our digital learning curriculum such as digital citizenship and computers as tools.
