Curriculum Focus
Our library program focuses on promoting reading enjoyment and information literacy skills. We want to foster a love for reading so that ultimately our students chose reading as a form of entertainment and/or intellectual stimulus. We also want our students to become information literate. We want them to know how to locate, evaluate, and use information to meet their needs. Our curriculum is designed to build this foundation so that they are ready to move on to middle school. The curriculum for Pre-K through Grade 2 focuses on literature and reading enjoyment, with some time spent on introductory information literacy skills. The curriculum for Grades 3 through 6 focuses on information literacy skills, while still incorporating reading enjoyment. The library curriculum works towards integrating literature and skills with the content being taught in the classroom.

Grade 6 Research Project
Our Sixth Graders will work on various research projects this year.  In October, they begin working on a research paper.  They will select a country that they are interested in, and research the culture of that country, and will used different types of resources to learn as much as they can.  They will present a written report with a cover page and a bibliography of what they have learned.

To guide them in this research process they will use Ann Irving’s Nine Step Model for Completing Assignments. The students will focus their time on searching for, evaluating, and organizing information.
