Library

Our library serves as an extension to all the learning happening in the school community including School Celebrations and Math/Literacy Family Nights. The library owns more than 8,000 titles, including picture books, early readers, fiction (also called "chapter books") and extensive informational texts (also called non-fiction).

Parents are encouraged to come and visit the library anytime school is open -- it's a wonderful space students can explore stories, memoirs, poetry, biographies, science, mythology, history, geography, and art! Students can borrow two books at a time, and are encouraged to have a system of reading and home/school storage so that they always know where there books are! 

Ms. Fenner joins all teachers and school leaders in recommending daily silent reading time, if possible at least 30 minutes. Early and consistent reading builds foundational skills that facilitate future learning--enhancing reading speed, memory, and overall comprehension, making it easier to absorb and retain information from various sources, including books and articles. Give your child a good start in life by reading to them! 

Our goal is not only to motivate students to read but to introduce diversity and variety, so every week different books and subjects are displayed around the library that highlight different interests and focus areas. In addition, Ms. Fenner presents lessons when classes visit for their weekly library time take place to support the school-wide thematic units. Besides weekly class visits, students can visit the library during recess, lunchtime, and after school.
