Library

Pre-Primary students have continued exploring the wonderful world of reading! As a group, students are developing their pre-literacy and library skills through storytimes, singing, and rhymes. These past few months we have explored both fiction and non-fiction books about winter weather, zoo animals, flowers, and much more During the second half of the year, each Pre-Primary classroom attended storytime in the library instead of their own environment This allowed students ample time to adjust and learn the routine before going into the library Being in the library also gives students the opportunity to begin using and developing their library skills

Pre-Primary Primary

By the second half of the school year, Primary students have mastered many of the basic library skills that were introduced at the beginning of the year such as using their shelf marker, checking a book out, and holding a book properly. These skills were intermixed with fun and engaging lessons throughout the year A highlight for many of the students is participating in the California Young Reader Medal (CYRM) program This program encourages recreational reading and is one of the few awards that is chosen by kids!
