Fifth Grade September Library Happenings

Fifth graders have reviewed library routines, policies, and expected behavior with our much anticipated "Librarian True or False" Game. We discussed the life-changing role libraries and books have played in people's lives by reading Ron's Big Mission; a very touching story about Ron McNair, one of the astronauts on the space shuttle Challenger.  We also discussed the meaning of the old proverb "Give a man a fish, he eats for a day, teach a man to fish he eats for a lifetime" and how important it is to learn "how to learn"! To reinforce this message, we read Our Librarian Won't Tell Us Anything; a story about a librarian who teaches her students "how to find answers" instead of just giving them the answers.
