Over the next two weeks there will be a lot to look for from the Library.
Click HERE for a video with lots of information from Mrs. Marchese.
Here is a list of the assignments I mention in the video:
1. Use the virtual library to find a book and read, then tell me what you are reading in the library folder of Seesaw. If you are reading an actual book and not a virtual book I want to know about that too!
2. Watch for information about how to return your library books and then return them
3. Look for information about our summer learning activities
4. Feel free to browse any of the tabs (Like the "Listen" tab or the "Watch" tab) on this website to explore activities you may not have done!
I will be updating this page as we get more information regarding the Read. Explore. Learn! website and more information from Miss Julie and Miss Nike at The Phoebe Griffin Noyes Library.
Here is the link I mentioned for how to find your way around the virtual library.
This is the link from Mrs. Whelan about how to access Clever and Classlink from your home devices.

Since we are reading about Diaries… check out the book Diary of a Spider.
Optional Activity:
Keep posting about what you are doing at home during quarantine. I have gotten some new ideas about things to do just from your posts. Some people are hiking, walking, riding bikes, playing basketball, using sidewalk chalk, playing cards, doing jigsaw puzzles, cooking dinner and making a restaurant at home. My daughter was inspired to make her own jigsaw puzzle for the family to put together! I would love more ideas!!
