Library: Mrs. Mielnik
Keep reading this summer!
All students, grades K – 8, have library class for 30 minutes per week. During their library class, students read silently for a few minutes at the beginning of the period, borrow and return books, and I read to each class at the end of the period. Students grades 2 – 8 have the opportunity to take Reading Counts™ quizzes while in library, also.
Students are encouraged to participate in Reading Counts™ each month. Reading Counts™ goals are set by the students under the guidance of their teacher and are customized to each student’s reading level. Each month, students set a new goal and have a new opportunity to succeed. Most students who participate in RC™ increase their reading comprehension, show academic improvement, and have higher reading scores on standardized tests. Plus it’s fun! Encourage your children to read by reading with them and let them see you enjoying a good book yourself!
The Birthday Book Club is a great way for your family to show your support of the library by donating a book in your child’s honor for his or her birthday. This year we have already received over 140 new, beautiful, and interesting books from many generous families. If you would like more information on the Birthday Book Club, please contact me at pmielnik@slserie.org.
