3rd Grade students got to view a wonderful PBS interview with award-winning author Kate DiCamillo.
It was fascinating to hear about her life and career!
Third Grade students have been spending time on the iPads getting to know the library’s online resources. They now know how to search our catalog and find books on the shelves on their own. The best part: you can even search the catalog from home! Any device with an internet connection can be used to access everything. Happy searching!
Third graders have been introduced to a variety of historical fiction books – stories that really bring a new perspective to things that happened in the past.
The library was pleased to join in the celebration of ALLY WEEK this year.

In preparation for our visit with Eric Velasquez on Friday, November 1st, all Houses in Little Dalton have been reading the two books he wrote and illustrated: Grandma’s Records and Grandma’s Gift.

For our first week back at school, 3rd Grade houses have been getting reacquainted with the library!
We shared great books to get us excited about reading tons of amazing stories this year.
