Wolf Pack Library News

Look at what we've been learning...

During our first six weeks in the library, our students have been busy exploring, creating, and learning about all kinds of exciting things! From building new library skills to discovering fascinating topics through books and hands-on activities, there has been plenty of learning and fun happening in the library. Here are just a few of the lessons our students have enjoyed so far:

book care
Capstone online reading platform

Discover the Treasure of Reading

Our Discover the Treasure of Reading adventure is off to a great start! Students have been excited to exchange their golden tickets for a prize anytime they were caught reading. Every Friday, we celebrate one lucky reading treasure hunter from each grade level with an extra-special prize—a delicious root beer float and a brand-new book to add to their personal collection! We love seeing our students discover that one of the greatest treasures of all is found inside a book!

Students bring their golden tickets to the library and exchange them for a coin for the prize machine.

After redeeming their ticket for a prize, we put a piece of treasure in their grade level treasure chest on the bulletin board in the hall.

On Fridays, one winner from each grade level wins a special prize!

Library Butterflies

Our students are getting an up-close look at the amazing life cycle of the monarch butterfly! Students in 2nd and 3rd grade are observing two monarch caterpillars as they go through their incredible metamorphosis from caterpillar to chrysalis to adult butterfly. As we watch our butterflies grow and change, students are learning about the monarch’s important migration journey from Canada and the United States to Mexico. We are excited to eventually tag and release our butterflies, giving our students the opportunity to be part of the monarchs’ incredible journey!

Also, be sure to see the invite below to the Monarch Butterfly and Pollinator Festival coming up the first weekend in October. We encourage our families to attend and continue the learning and excitement beyond the classroom!
