Quarter 1 Sand Creek Library

QUARTER 1 in the Sand Creek Library

What's going on in the library?

It has been an exciting start to the school year! You may have noticed that some books have found a new home, the security gates have been removed, and our Reference books have been moved closer to the circulation desk. Overdue notices are now being sent to students and parents via email each week. Students have been doing a great job of bringing a pass to the library when returning or signing out books - thank you!!!

Bye bye, security gates!!

Our 5th and 6th graders have been coming in bi-weekly for book exchanges. They have learned how to use Destiny Discover and completed their genre personality quiz to see various genres they might enjoy!

It has been wonderful to have some 7th and 8th grade ELA classes in to also learn about Destiny Discover and complete their genre personality quizzes! Ms. Pastuszak's Social Studies classes came in for a couple of days to learn how to find reliable web sources. Miss O'Gorman's 7th grade ELA clasess welcomed me to their room to teach about the impact of their digital footprints.
