During the month of February, 2nd and 3rd graders read the story The Book That Eats People by John Perry. They LOVED this story and even got "eaten by a book!!!" Check their photos out!
Also in February, library staff and the technology facilitator for Sonntag & Mooneyham collaborated to host a technology showcase for teachers. The teachers learned all about amazing Web 2.0 technology for their classrooms as well as online library research resources such as MackinVia!
