Discipline with Purpose
Each month we focus on one of the 15 Discipline with Purpose skills. Sometimes everyone works on the same skill, and other months Kindergarten through third grade works on one and 4th through 8th works on another. For example, in November, K3 focuses on the skill of sharing while 4th to 8th focuses on cooperation.
4th grade library
To go along with the fourth graders' study of Nebraska, we read some of the Nebraska State Historical Society Nebraska Trailblazers during library class and complete some work using reference books.
5th Grade Library
Student Author Study Project- The students select an author to research. Using the Big 6 Research or information literacy process, they research the author in the library and in the tech lab. The Big 6 is a six step process to answer any problem or information need. They create a poster to show what they had learned about their author! See previous years' examples.
6th, 7th and 8th grade library
We complete a unit of study on Digital Literacy. We learn about the origin of the Internet, trends online world wide, Cyberbullying, online privacy, copyright, fair use and public domain. Students create a poster about one of these topics. See previous years' examples.
