Library Rules

Rule 1 - Be Courteous!

  • Being courteous means we will not talk loudly because we might disturb others.
  • Being courteous means we will return books on time so that others may use them, and so that no one has to spend time hunting for them!

Rule 2 - Be Responsible

  • Being responsible means getting an adult if there is a problem.
  • Being responsible means we will always pull the book out to mark where a book goes while we have it off the shelf looking at it. This makes sure that it can be found again.

Rule 3 - Be Safe

  • Being safe means that we will not run, jump, push, shove, try to take books away from others, or do anything that might cause people to get hurt or angry.

Rule 4 - Checking out Books

  • I may check out two books and one magazine. One book MUST be at my reading level to practice reading at home, and one book may be ANYTHNG I want to check out for fun.
  • My books will be due exactly two weeks after I check them out.

Rule 5 - Using the computers in the Library/Lab

  • I may use the Internet ONLY IF I have returned the Internet Acceptable Use Policy to my teacher.
  • I may use the Lab computers when my teacher sends me with a note to Ms. McIntyre or when I am with my class.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

How to do RESEARCH

.

The Big3 1st-2nd Grade

Helps you plan and then do your project or report!

1. Plan -

  • What am I supposed to do?
  • What do I need to do it?
  • What am I supposed to turn in when I am finished?

2. Do -

  • What do I need to do this job?
  • How will I find out what I need to know to do this job?
  • What am I going to make to show what I learned?

3. Review -

  • Did I do what my teacher asked me to do?
  • Do I feel good about what I have done?
  • Do I need to do anything else to it before I turn it in?
The Big6 3rd-4th Grade

Helps you plan and do your project!

1. Task Definition

What needs to be done? What did the teacher ask me to do?

2. Information Seeking Strategies

What resources do I need to use?

  • Books?
  • Encyclopedias?
  • Magazine articles?
  • Internet?
  • People?
  • 3. Location and Access

    Where will I find these resources?

    4. Use of Information

    What can I use from these resources?

      Trash or Treasure!!? Taking good notes and asking good questions!

    5. Synthesis

    What can I make to finish the job and show what I know?

    6. Evaluation

    Did I do what I set out to do? Am I proud of my work?

     

     

     

    How to choose a book

    Is it too hard?

    The 5 finger test is an easy way to find out if a book is too hard. Read any page in the book. Each time you don't know a word, hold up one finger. If you have five fingers up by the end of the page - the book is too hard. You can also use you AR level to help select a book that is on the right reading level for you. Once you find books that you can read you must select those that you WANT to read!

     

    Am I interested in this story?

    To do this read what the publisher has placed on the book jacket to tell you a bit about the story. Finally, if you start the book and don't like it -- DON'T READ THE BOOK.

    Now that I can read -- I want to read REAL BOOKS!
