Reading Takes Us Places


This week, students in grades 1-5 are learning how to contribute to the library's continents display, "Reading Takes Us Places". Located at the entrance to the library, each window has a map of a different continent. Students who read a book that has a setting in one of the seven continents will have their book title, name, and map marker added to the display. Books can be fiction or nonfiction and can be read by individuals or whole classrooms (a teacher read-aloud, for example). The display is meant to inspire students to read and share books about different places around the world. Students will be doing research later in the year on a geographical location in library as well as learning more about continents through lessons in art and phys ed.
