This week at Prairieview, the classes worked on library skills. In third grade, we continued practicing using the online catalog. This week it was about subjects. The fourth and fifth graders both did lessons that required dictionary practice.
At Elizabeth Ide, I read one more Monarch Award nominee to each class and then showed them all the ones they had heard over the last several weeks. Then we held an election for the favorite title in each class. The overall school results will be reported to the state and, before too long, we will hear the overall state results.
The I.M.C. staff has been working away on cataloging and processing new books. We have recently received several preview boxes in each building and have been lucky enough to buy a bunch of new titles. In order to make the books hold up as long as possible and have our catalogs as useful as possible, we try to do a good, careful job. I have been working on keeping the collection in each building up-to-date and well rounded. My assistants have been very helpful in letting me know what teachers and students are asking for.
