Destiny Quest Catalog

Students in grades 3, 4, and 5 have learned how to use the Destiny Quest online catalog to find books in our library. The catalog has an electronic record of all books, videos, and reference materials in the Myron J. Francis library. By typing in titles, authors, and key words, students can locate materials in our library and filter their results by genre, reading level, award status and much more!

Favortie Valentine Story Pick

My favorite read-aloud Valentine story this year is Somebody Loves You, Mr. Hatch by Eileen Spinelli. Read the book or listen to it being read by Hector Elizondo on Storyline Online.

Teacher Super Hero Comics

Students in Mrs. Gallagher's class are writing teacher super hero comics. For inspiration, we read some of Louis Sachar's Wayside School stories, Ricky Ricotta and the Mighty Robot by Dav Pilkey, and my favorite, Lunch Lady and the Cyborg Substitute. Lunch Lady, written by Jarrett J. Krosoczka, is   goofy graphic novel series starring a lunch lady who uses high-tech kitchen gadgets to investigate and capture vilains in and around the school. Gadgets include spork-phone, milk cam, and taco-vision night goggles.
