Library Club Holiday Parties




During our holiday parties last week in after school Library Club, members decorated cookies and enjoyed hot chocolate, played games, and created crafts such as Rainbow Loom bracelets, duct tape projects, friendship bracelets, boondoggle, drawing and origami. Students consulted library books and taught each other how to make different crafts. Materials for all these projects will be available during our next Family Library Night on Wednesday, January 8th from 4-6pm for all students to enjoy with their families. Library Club members will also be available to assist with various projects. We hope to see you there!

Track Your Child's AR Progress from Home

This week in library class students learned how to log in to their Home Connect accounts. Using Home Connect, students and parents can view reading goals, points, average percent correct, and scores on quizzes. Home Connect also links to the AR BookFinder, an online search tool that allows you to find out if there is an AR quiz available for a specific book, along with the level and points of that book. Please ask your child to show you how to log in following these directions: visit our library website http//wweslibrary.wix.com/wwlibrary, click on "For Parents" and then "Home Connect". Log in using your the AR username and password your child uses at school. We hope students and parents use this helpful resource to track Accelerated Reader progress from home.
