3rd Quarter Events

For your listening pleasure...we're featuring
Ramona, Mr. Popper and Bud!
Students in 3rd through 5th are listening to 3 popular and award winning novels each time they visit the library.  3rd graders are listening to Ramona Quimby, Age 8, 4th graders are listening to Mr. Popper's Pengiuns and 5th graders to Bud, Not Buddy. After listening students respond to questions in their journal (using  Microsoft Word) on the notebook computers.   

Exploring Favorite Authors
