I miss you, miss you, miss you, and miss you... but I am glad to be back supporting your learning virtually as the school's librarian. I will be collaborating with your classroom teachers to help you with reading and researching. So, look for me to be visiting your Microsoft Teams classrooms. I also will be available through virtual office hours. And, I will always be up for giving you some good book recommendations. (See the box above.)
Feel free to contact me via my email or during my office hours if you need some assistance from your friendly librarian!
Never stop reading,
Mrs. Tetschner

You have room on your virtual shelf to check out 3 books, and you can put 5 books on hold. The longest a book can be checked out is two weeks before it needs to be returned or renewed. Digital books that have not been renewed will be returned automatically.

This week's reading strategy is called Question and Critique. This strategy can work with both fiction and nonfiction.
According to reading teacher Jennifer Serravallo, readers have an important job as they read -- not to just soak in the story or information, but also to have ideas, to think, to question, to wonder, and even to critique what the author says.
With this strategy use these three symbols to question and critique what you are reading. If you can write in the margin of the book, great! If you can't write in the margin of the book, use Post-it-Notes.
? = I wonder more about this because...
No! = I don't agree with what is being said here because...
! = I'm having a strong feeling about this because...
