Our library-media center known as the learning center offers students a choice of 10 or more activities or centers spaced around our room. Students come as a class each week and part of that time may be spent on centers. Students also may come alone or in small groups from their classroom. At these centers they are encouraged to extend the learning from the classroom and explore areas of their interest.
Students also spend time choosing books and reading.
They are also taught library and research skills and introduced to all kinds of literature as well as many forms of resources. Explore the Iditarod web sites that follow the greatest sled dog race on earth in Alaska. Even after the race ends this year read from the journals kept by various participants and onlookers, find out about the dog team that mutinied, and more. March is also Women s History Month. Women have often been left out of the history books or their contributions ignored.
