After our literacy lessons, students have always had a book check-out time, then time to read, etc. Now, we are providing our Hedden students with additional learning opportunities.
After check-out, students now are using netbooks (laptops) for research, or eBook reading. Our younger students are using the netbooks, as well as the interactive LeapPad books. Some students are even using their remaining minutes to try strategy games like chess and checkers.
We are also now open before school on Tuesdays at 8:30 a.m. for students who would like to renew, or check-out books. They also may use the time to work on assignments or projects, or do any of the above-mentioned items. Finally, we now have Scholastic online book ordering through the library if your child doesn't already have these available to them through their classroom teacher.
We're excited about our new programs. We are even working on some other programs. Check back for updates!
If you have any gently-used books, we'd appreciate any donations. They can be any level. Thank you for supporting your Hedden Library.
Sincerely,
Mr. Wolfe
