This year we will be using Google Classroom and this website for all our school work. We will continue to build on the research skills from last school year doing project-based learning.

Please make sure you read the library rules on the home page of this website.

This year in library you will:

• set a personal reading goal

  • Reading goals are individually set grades for each student and will be graded at the end of each quarter.

  • Students will use a Google Form to report their titles. 

• refresh over the organization of our library, the differences in the fiction genres, and the non-fiction sections

• actively listen and participate in Teacher Read Aloud (TRA) sessions

  • TRA is a weekly grade in class

• explore non-fiction books, databases, and learn how to detect bias in "news"

• conduct research writing a combination of direct/indirect quotes with parenthetical citations and bibliography

• select a novel for a large research project (more information later)

This year all 5th grade students will be using Google Classroom for library. This allows students to access assignments and submit them without ever having to use paper!

Depending on the assignment, students can receive immediate grades. Parents can also monitor upcoming assignments and student progress.
