Common Sense Media Resources, How to Choose a Book, and Hispanic Heritage Month

It was so nice to see so many families come through on Friday night for a visit to the school!  I enjoyed having you all come through the library with your children.  Thanks for stopping in!

Here is a link to a presentation I made for our school about Digital Citizenship.  I used resources from Common Sense Media which is an amazing site for parents and educators.  I hope that you will find this useful and refer back to it during the school year.  (link below.)

The Canadian Children’s Book Centre has a very helpful article about how to choose a book for your kids.  It has general advice and then also specific advice for each age group and for different book genres.

I have a whiteboard outside the library where I am starting to post a ‘library question of the week’ for students to write their answers.  The first week’s question was “What was a great book that you read this summer?” and the current question is “Where do you like to read?” How about you?  Feel free to leave a comment below!  Have a great week HHCS and don’t forget about Culture and Curriculum Night on Wednesday!
