(November Edition)
Where did November go?? November was another busy month in the Sonntag library! The month started with the closing of our fall Scholastic Book Fair. Because of the wonderful Sonntag community, the library as well as classroom libraries were able to acquire so many books for the students! Wow! In addition, 5th graders researched ecosystems using library books, encyclopedias, as well as our online databases. Kinder students also participated in a fantastic pumpkin technology project. Finally, the library played host to a Librarian & Library Aide of the Day. Check out the photos below to find out more about these amazing activities!
Here are some of our fantastic 5th graders researching using the online databases.
The 5th graders also used other library resources to use during their ecosystems research.
Check out this amazing pumpkin technology project that Kinder kids participated in!
