Happy Winter Break

Make sure to snuggle up with a good book and stay warm!  

See you January 8th!!!!

Last Library before Winter Break!

This week in library we are reading:

Students will check out 2 books to keep and read over Winter Break.  

Please remember the library is closed Dec. 10th - Dec. 14th

See you next week!!!!!!

December is here!!!

Hard to believe that it is already December!  What a fun year we have had so far.

This week in our spotlight we have Diary of a Worm!  

We are watching this on TumbleBooks this week. 

Parents please note:

Over the last couple of weeks I have sent home letters with students that have overdue books.  Please help your child look for their book and return it.  If you cannot find the book, or it is damaged, please contact me at 503-785-8022.  My goal is always to have your child be able to have access to the books in the library.  I do not want them to miss out on checking out books.

Also the library will be closed December 10th - 14th.  I look forward to seeing everyone back on the 17th!!!!

Welcome Back

Hope everyone had a fabulous break!  

This week 1st and 2nd grade students will be checking out 2 books!  After they check out we will get to spend a little time exploring CULTURE GRAMS.  

This one of the websites that you can access on our District Website: Students http://www.orecity.k12.or.us/students  research link.

We checked out books and talked a bit about our upcoming Book Fair!!!!  

Our Book Fair is coming!!!

During conferences November 19th and 20th our Book Fair will be held in the gymnasium!  

ALL-STAR Book Fair!

Where every reader is a STAR!

Exciting things!!!!

Last week was a bit out of the ordinary.  Mrs. Murphy traveled around to some classrooms for story time because the Library was being used as a classroom.  

Our Spotlight was on Fancy Nancy and the amazing detailed
illustrations by Robin Preiss Glasser.

This week we have the Checker Board book series in the Spotlight and we are exploring World Book Kids for the first time this year.  

World Book is one of the websites featured on the yellow bookmark I sent home with students a couple of weeks ago.  This is a great site for students to explore at home!

TumbleBooks!!!

This week our spotlight is on Biscuit!

Instead of reading a book aloud this week, we are exploring TumbleBooks
for the first time during the beginning part of our library session! 

IMPORTANT: Each student is bringing home a yellow bookmark filled with login information for all the sites that are available for our students.

Your child can explore these sites at home by going to our district website and clicking on the Students tab.  Once there click on Research and you will see:

We hope that you take time to explore these sites together and enjoy all the resources we have available.

Have a wonderful week!

Checkout!!!!

This week all of our 1st and 2nd graders got to check out a book of their choice.  A letter came home with the book to introduce Mrs. Murphy and help students remember what day books are due.

Kindergarteners have all been exploring different book tubs and have done a wonderful job of practicing our library expectations!

Dr. Seuss is in the Spot Light this week!  Mrs. Murphy read Green Eggs and Ham and gave students time to explore the whole library. 

Check out the space!

As the days get shorter and the air colder 

remember to check out our new book review space!

Check out this weeks Spot Light!

Don't forget to take a look at our Fall Selection!

Library Starts!!!

This week we are discussing our library expectations but most of all EXPLORING books!  

Welcome Back!!!!

What a great first week we are having here in the Jennings Lodge Library!  

Students have been given tours and our new Media Assistant Mrs. Murphy is getting everything ready for our regularly scheduled library times.  

Starting next week each class will begin to explore the library and in the weeks to follow we will begin our adventure of learning about the many online tools our district has available for students to use.  

It is going to be an exciting year here in the Jennings Lodge Library!
