I have over 450 students - and I know them each by name. I met most of our current fifth grade students when they were just kindergarten students and it has been incredible to be a part of their educational journey. Ranging in grade level from K-6, we get to spend one 40-minute class period together each week. For grades K-2, we read exciting stories and begin the process of learning how to research a topic. Older students, in grades 3-6, discover how many different technologies can guide them to excellent information. We also work on digital literacy and how to be positive contributors to the Internet. Through these weekly classes, I am able to watch students become more independent and assertive. I have the opportunity get to know families and celebrate with them as their children advance through the grade levels. I also have the privilege of partnering with community members who volunteer on a weekly basis to keep our library operating.
