Check out what’s happening!
Second grade students from Mrs. Logan and Mrs. Ritchie’s classes have been studying landforms in their classrooms.
These classes integrated research skills into their unit by visiting the media center to view a United Streaming video on landforms and then conducting basic research on an educational internet sight.
What a great time we had with children’s book author Mr. Sargent and his friends, Daphne, Emma, Spike, and Tatum. We learned about becoming an author and writing about things that happend in our very own lives. Mr. Sargent writes books about his pets. We were fortunate to hear him share some of his stories.
Daphne, Queen of the Universe, displayed her royalty for us. Spike, Emma, and Tatum were show-offs with their tricks. The way our teachers were loving on the dogs, I’m surprised Mr. Sargent was able to get them back.
Our thanks go out to Ozark Publishing for arranging Mr. Sargent’s visit with us!

Welcome back for the 2007 – 2008 school year. I’m so excited to see everyone again. I truly believe each year we are together, things just get better and better.
Over the summer, I placed many new books on the shelves. In the Easy section you’ll find a lot of new low level AR books. In the Fiction section, many Caldecott and Newbery Award winning books found a home. The Nonfiction section grew in the 500s as some new dinosaur books have been added to the collection.
Come in and see for yourself all the books that are just waiting to be read!
