Our class enjoys going to the Library frequently. In the first few months of 5th grade we had fun programs that include biomes, PowerPoint, and other activities in the library. We've learned biographies, folktales, and fiction books. We also used World Book Encyclopedia Online. Recently we did a fun activity to help us know how to find a good website. We wanted to find information about octopuses, and found a site full of fake pictures and information about a make-believe tree octopus! We learned how to find out if a site is usable and truthful. Mrs. Masad the librarian teaches us lots of things that we use in the library. Some are how to renew books, how to check in and out, and how to use book sticks.
Mrs. Masad says that there are two things that 5th graders need to know, how to find books, and to know how to research. 5th graders are only allowed to check out 5 books. Besides having all kinds of books, the Library is a very comfortable and colorful place. There are many beanbags and soft chairs. The Library is also a place to do homework. After school many kids gather in the library to do their homework. The Library is open from 7:30 to 4:00. At recess quite a few children come to the Library. They don’t come in just to read. They also come into to relax, since it’s boiling hot outside.
