lego wall, if you build it they will make

February 1, 2017July 3, 2020 ~ Ms. P. ~ Leave a comment

Our lego wall is up and running and the friends using it have created some interesting items putting it to use. There are not enough hours in the day to play legos according to many of these hard working builders. Need inspiration? You can always visit the lego site for some amazing ideas and motivation. We also have a few books with lego inspiration stored around the lego shelves. Our lego wall has been great for community building and a relaxation destination, but it has also helped us express what we know about what we are reading! Studying insects? It’s a great time to build one to show its body parts. Reading about the weather? Design a cool umbrella or storm cloud structure. Math legoing is easily the best way to see your work on a wall! Come try some perimeter, area, or shape design built by you. The ideas (unlike the legos) are endless. Legos are functional in our library.

Our most frequent customers come on a lego lunch pass with a buddy. A quick bite then off to the wall to build for the rest of their lunch period.

Summer send off, reading goals met

May 17, 2016July 31, 2017 ~ Ms. P. ~ Leave a comment

The library appreciates all of the readers who completed their hourly reading goals this year to earn tickets for summer fun at amusement parks. We made summer sunglasses, chalked the walk in front of the school, and treated ourselves to a few snacks. We hope the summer warm up carries them to their next reading goals and the public library’s summer reading programs.

snowflakes in the library

January 7, 2016July 5, 2020 ~ Ms. P. ~ Leave a comment

We had an extended snowflake unit this winter that included a biography of Wilson Bentley, the snowflake man, and studying the science and structure of snowflakes. Each student and faculty member was invited to create their own flake and help us decorate the library with them! Every flake had the name of the person who made it and the title of a good book they recommended.
