| Our Library contains over 10,000 books, including reference and professional books. We have fiction, non-fiction, biographies, folk and fairytales, graphic novels, big books, story collections, and I-Can-Read chapter books. Students in grades 3-5 may also select from a number of student periodicals. Classes are held in the instructional area which includes a screen and Internet connection for large-group instruction. We also have a wall-mounted Smartboard, which is an interactive whiteboard that is used for all grades. Students can directly interact with the computer in a variety of content and subject areas. This is especially useful for visual and tactile learners.
We have 12 desktop computers with Internet access, in addition to a laptop with video projector for instruction. Students are guided through research projects using software programs such as PowerPoint, the Virtual Reference Collection (electronic research databases) and select websites. Students are taught methods of evaluating websites for content. Student search engines and directories include Yahooligans, Ask Kids, and Kid's Click.
