Fourth and Fifth Graders had a great time coming to the lunch today to talk about the book Found by Margaret Peterson Haddix.  All students who have finished the book were invited to come talk about the book at lunch.  I provided discussion questions about the book and they ate and talked.  It was so great to see them excited about the book and about the Read it Forward program.  After they ate lunch, they went to the story pit to work on a wanted poster.  They got to pretend like they were one of the missing, decide which time period they would have been taken from, and design a wanted poster.   Much fun was had by all!

Check out the video!

Found Lunch

Hi Old Town Texans!

Here’s a video for you to watch on how to find AR books in the library.  You can click on the following link to take you to my YouTube video.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJT77mtNQms

Please note that when I’m on the video and I click on Internet Explorer, the website defaults to the Old Town homepage.  If you don’t know how to get to the Old Town webpage from home, it is www.roundrockisd.org/oldtown

Enjoy!

Library Mission

 The students at Old Town Elementary will learn the information research process and demonstrate that they can independently locate, retrieve, evaluate and present information.

 The students at Old Town Elementary will have a library staff who shows them “how to learn” so that they will become independent life-long learners. 

The students at Old Town Elementary will be exposed to varied and interesting genres of fiction and non-fiction, in order to promote the enjoyment of literature and reading.
