LIBRARY - https://facslibrarymedia.weebly.com/
Reading resources:
We realize that you may not have grabbed your library book to read as you left for Spring Break, so we wanted to let you know about some book options that are available.
We are also posting weekly story time videos on our library page. Each Monday, we highlight a book about an invention for Maker Monday. Picture books and activities are posted on Wednesday. For students in 3rd grade and 4th grade, we are posting audio recordings of the chapter books we were reading together before we moved to online learning. All of those options can be found here https://facslibrarymedia.weebly.com/story-time.html
