Library News:
Click HERE to see an Adobe Spark from the McKelvie Library of a 5th grade Book Tasting. The library setting was turned into a "restaurant" complete with table numbers, tablecloths, flameless candles, and books on plates. This was a fun event where students had an opportunity to "sample" books at tables with mysteries, fantasies, adventures, historical fiction books, and realistic fiction books. It was great to see students "tasting" various books. These books were older and recent publications. Then they had a chance to check them out from the McKelvie Library!
Have a wonderful weekend. ~Mrs. Cote
