Here are some activities to get you thinking and/or moving! Some websites are provided for you to explore as well!
Hello Day Students,
I hope you are all doing well during these difficult and uncertain times. I really miss seeing, and having conversations with you each day. Our Library website offers many great resources; one page that will be particularly helpful to you is our Ebooks & Audiobooks Page. This can be found by hovering over the READ tab on the library’s website.
I have created and will update a Library Schoology group for each grade where you can find links to optional activities that you may enjoy exploring/contributing to. I will also communicate ways that we can continue to build community and connection through these groups. If you have never attended one of our Lit Lunch groups, now is the time! You can expect a video of me reading a few chapters every few days on the Schoology group. Feel free to listen during your lunch time, or whenever.
Grade 6 Schoology Code M2QC-RTPG-MXWPF
Grade 7 Schoology Code QMZG-QM4Q-HKF7Z
Grade 8 Schoology Code 6GPM-J4F6-96DXR
I update the Library’s Instagram (_daymiddleschoollibrary_) and my professional Twitter account (LightsInTheLibs) with what I am reading, fun activities I come across and, of course, cute pictures of my cats! The stream for these accounts is also available on the library’s website. If you need anything, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
Hope to see you really soon,
Ms. Lightfoot
