March Library Lessons

The Media Center follows a flexible scheduling model where teachers sign up as needed to bring their students for check-out, lessons or some combination of both.   Students are not limited to coming to the library on a specific day or time.  They may come at anytime during the school day, with teacher permission, to exchange books, read, research or work on assignments.  This ensures that students receive instruction at the point of need - when they are most likely to remember what they've been taught. 

Here's what we'll be doing in March:

K & 1 - Read me a story! 
We'll celebrate Dr. Seuss's birthday, learn about St. Patrick's Day and share other favorite stories.   First graders will also be "sneaking a peek" at dictionaries.

2nd Grade - Dictionary Olympics
Students will practice their dictionary skills in a game show format.

3rd Grade - Basic Reference Skills
We continue following Fribble Mouse as we learn about The Secrets of the Rock. By the time we're through, we'll learn about dictionaries, encyclopedias, biographies, internet, atlases, newspapers, telephone books and the Dewey Decimal System.

4th & 5th Grade - Reference Tools in an Electronic Format
We will continue building on our information literacy skills by exploring Destiny, resources available through the Cobb Virtual Library and the Dewey Decimal System.
