Library
By Charlie, Maddy, and Alec
Shhh … we’re in the library. At Richards School we have activities called “Specials”. Specials are mostly out-of-the- room activities called like Physical Education, or in our case, Library. Here at our school the students and faculty are very fortunate to have an in-school library. In our class we have Library once a week on Mondays, each class for 30 minutes. Library is taught by the wonderful and amazing Ms. Roberts. We’re all wondering what will happen in the next thrilling class of Library!
During Library we do many activities before we check out our books. One of the activities we do in fourth grade is learning how to make slideshows on laptop computers. We also, during our years at Richards School, learn how to use our library’s online card catalog called Destiny. Lastly in our previous grades we learned about different genres of books and where they might be found in the library. For example, folktales have a code of 398.2.
The last 10 minutes of library responds on checking out books out or looking for them. One of the special things about library is at the school meeting (where school gets together) Ms. Roberts recommends books to us that have won medals. She also reads books to us in class.
As you’ve seen and heard, we do many things in library class. We are grateful and happy to have an extraordinary library teacher and library.
