Vox Books
We have over 40 new Vox books in our library collection. They are print books transformed into an all-in-one read-along. They can be played with or without headphones. Some of the new titles include animals that students may be interested in for research as well as engaging picture books. Teachers can check them out for classroom use and they will be used in the library.
New Books
We also received another shipment of fiction and non-fiction books.
Published Poets
April is National Poetry Month and our talented 1st grade students have crafted some Haiku poems. We are thrilled to announce that some of these poems have been selected to be published in the Young American Poetry Digest. Congratulations to our young poets for their outstanding achievement!

Exciting news from PebbleGo! They have just released 28 new articles in Science, Biographies, and Social Studies modules! This will provide our students even more opportunities to engage with educational content in an interactive way. The new articles are available in both English and Spanish. Some of the other newer biographies previously added include: Travis Kelce, Taylor Swift, and Beyonce. Students can access PebbleGo! from home. Bookmarks with username and password will be handed out in the library. (English and Spanish) We will also give out bookmarks with usernames and passwords for TumbleBooks, BrainPop Jr, BookFlix, and Starfall.
TeachingBooks.net
TeachingBooks.net is one of my favorite resources for both educators and students. This platform has so many amazing resources. It helps teachers find resources for teaching books as well as finding books students will love based on their likes. Check out the Reader's Advisory page in the For Students section. They also have a partnership with Vooks Storybooks brought to life. There is a collection of titles that you can use for read-alouds. TeachingBooks also has various games available. Before reading a book to your class have them guess the title by using the Book Cover Jigsaw Puzzle. Search for the book, then choose which puzzle to solve (4 - 64 pieces). You can have students do the puzzle together on your BenQ.
iReady Testing
We are still experiencing issues with iReady/MyPath on the iPads. IT and iReady are aware of the problem. At this point we will be using touch screen chromebooks for testing.
