Hello 5th Grade!
Last week, I sent instructions for working on research using Encyclopedia Britannica. I have heard from several of you and made comments on your Google Doc. If you have not worked on this, please use this week to do so. Here is the link to last week’s library blog. http://blogs.fredericksburgacademy.org/lowerschool/2020/03/18/5th-grade-library-week-of-march-15/
For the rest of you, please use this week’s library time to read a book of your choice for 30 minutes (or more!). All week, I have been trying to locate other free online books for you all. The challenge has been finding resources for my Middle and Upper students. At this point, many of you can benefit from the Middle School resources.
- If you (or a parent) have a Central Rappahannock Library Card, you can access their online books and check them out.
- You all have an Epic account. Classroom code: gme4717
- Junior Library Guild now has audio books. Click on either the Elementary or Middle School Stream.
- Many of your favorite authors have their own Youtube Channels, where they read their books or excerpts from their books. We’re talking about everything from Mo Willems to Neil Gaiman. They may also have interviews. Try it sometime.
I have a closed YouTube Channel setup for my classes. I did a short video that I uploaded to my library blog a few days ago. I will do that from time to time, just so you can still see and hear me, even though we are not meeting in our library on Monday or Friday mornings. It may be from when I am out and about (like Maymont and Byrd Parks), or it may be from my family property.
Keep studying. Keep reading. Get some exercise every day. Drink your water! Wash your hands! Be well!
Mrs. A.
