This month Mrs. Beach's 9th grade students started their research paper in the library. They came in for about a week to learn more about using NoodleTools and how to research using different types of sources such as print books, websites, and eBooks. By the end of their time in the library most students were able to complete a large chunk of their requirements for their paper and felt a lot more comfortable starting the writing process.

This month I would like to promote a resource that I just learned more about at my Future Ready Libraries conference. I know that some of you are aware of this awesome tool but others may not be. It is so simple yet so amazing at the same time!
