We have completed our first month of school, and students are back into the swing of things taking books out (and thankfully returning them as well). Some of our new books should arrive sometime soon, which is always fun here at the library. When a new book order arrives it's almost like having a birthday with lots of presents! It is so much fun to go through a box of brand new books and get them ready for check-out. If you have a suggestion of a title you would like to see in the library, stop by and see me. I'll be happy to check into the title for you and see about getting it for the library.

We are halfway into our first quarter. In library skills class we are currently learning about different types of resources in the library, and getting some practice using them. Soon we will be starting our major research project, practicing all the skills we have learned.

Also, take a look at the new reading website at RCS Reading Website. It will give you some great tips to help your child with reading and reading strategies, as well as some fun sites, book reviews and examples of some of the projects students have done.
