Please assist your child in returning their books on library day!
The Library is the hub of our school, where an appreciation of literature and a love of reading are fostered. Library Class is taught by a certified Library Teacher (Library Media Specialist), once each week for forty minutes. Our library lessons support Next Generation Standards, English Language Arts and grade level curriculums. Library class consists of a 30 minute lesson/activity and ten minutes of book selection.
Children are exposed to award winning literature, new books and the classics. In addition to literature appreciation, students learn how to effectively use the library for academic pursuit, as well as for enjoyment. I strive to promote lifelong learning and the love of reading.
Each week children are encouraged to choose books based on their personal interests and reading level. We strive to accommodate any special requests that your child has. We discuss the responsibility involved with borrowing materials and students learn to properly care for their library materials. I teach the responsibility and privilege associated with borrowing books from the library. If you receive a reminder notice, it means that for whatever reason the book was not returned to the library. We ask that you return the book as soon as possible. We treat books like they are our treasures!
Parents are an integral part of the library program at Indian Hollow. Your child has taken special care to pick out a "just right" book, please share in this very exciting experience. I am thrilled to share the joy of reading with you and your children! Please email me with any questions or concerns regarding the library program.
Happy Reading! :)
