Mobile Library Update: grade 1

Hello 1st grade families,

A quick note to let you know that yesterday was our first day of Mobile Library for all 1st graders! In keeping with extensive Covid safety protocol, a collection of books was set up in the first grade hall. Hybrid students had the opportunity to self-select 2 titles to borrow.

Masks could not hide their joyous expressions as readers left with exciting new books and a new Leo the Lion bookmark! There was literal cheering and clapping :)

For you to know:

• The opportunity to choose books is expected to occur monthly, similarly to curbside library for remote learners. This means that curbside book pick-up is no longer occurring for hybrid 1st grade students.

• No formal calendar / schedule is set. If I’ve learned anything this year, it is to be responsive and flexible.

• Hand sanitation occurs, and no student touches any book until check-out.

• Library books can be returned to school ANYTIME – your child’s teacher will facilitate their return to the library.

• Library class is still 100% on video. I hope your reader find it both educational and entertaining!

I’m excited to have found a way to connect all hybrid students with books given the time and safety limitations of this year. Please reach out with any questions.

Always your librarian,

Ms Arika
