For the first time in many years, the Loyal Heights Library will be staffed full-time for the 2017-2018 school year! What does this mean for your students?
This year students will rotate through the library as part of the PCP schedule.
Library PCP will be taking place on Monday, Tuesday, and every other Wednesday (alternating with Art on Wednesdays). Students will have 25 minutes of age-appropriate Library instruction focused on fostering a love of reading, exposure to a wide variety of books across genres, informational literacy skills, and using technology effectively and responsibly. Students will also have a 10 minute period to check out books. Library books are always due on Mondays.
On Thursdays and Fridays the library is open for FLEX time. Teachers can send individual students to check-out books, do research, get brain breaks using one of the Library centers, or they can schedule a whole-class visit to work on a project.
The Global Reading Challenge is underway! Loyal Heights has filled 8 teams of 7 students. Teams are meeting every Friday from 1:10-1:40 in the library. Check out some of these great books!
