Library and COW reservations

I hope everyone is settling
into their new spaces.
There are just two weeks
until February vacation!

Library Hours:
The Library is open from
7:00am-4:00pm MondayThursday and 7:00am3:00pm Friday when school
is in session.

As you are considering integrating technology and

research skills into your
lessons and/or units, remember that there are
COWs and library resources available.
High school teachers can
continue to sign out the
COWs as they have in the
past. Additionally, the
blue area of the library is
available. See me to sign
out in the reservation book.

Professional Collection Educational research and strategies

Did you know the library
has a professional collection?
The professional collection
consists of books and magazines that have the latest
in teaching techniques and

strategies for your classroom. This is a great place

to go if you are looking for
new ideas for formative
assessments, alternative
assessments, lesson plan
development, and class-

room management techniques.

There are also books on
current issues in education
such as bullying, administrative discipline, and
teacher evaluation.
