Students and families are welcome to use the library for
checkout and book browsing during school hours or when Ms. Chu is in the
library. Computers in the library may be used throughout the day by
supervised students as well as teachers. Seating may be used in the
library by whole classes or by individuals. Please contact Ms. Chu to schedule use of the library space during the day.
K-5
students come weekly for a 45-minute library class. Students in the J/K
or K Chinese immersion program alternate each week between an English
and a Mandarin library class. Library standard based lessons and skills
are taught through games, songs, and projects. Children have
approximately 10-15 minutes at the end of each library class to browse,
borrow, and read/look at books. Through collaboration and co-teaching
with the classroom teacher throughout the year, students will learn and
use 21st century skills through research and other projects. Grade 4 and
5 students also participate in the Massachusetts Children's Book
Awards. All students are welcome in the library for book check out and
renewal throughout the day when there are no classes in session with
permission from their classroom teacher.
